Hunter Biden Says Joe Biden's Cancer Spread to Bones, Causing Pain at 83

Summary
Hunter Biden said Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has metastasized to his bones and beyond, leaving the 83-year-old former president in significant pain and debilitated.
In a BBC interview, Hunter called the illness “very sad to watch” and said he wished his father would complain more because “it’s not good.”
Joe Biden disclosed the prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025, less than four months after leaving the White House.
The update revives scrutiny of Biden’s age and health after criticism that aides downplayed his condition before he dropped his reelection bid following a disastrous debate with Donald Trump.
Despite the illness, Hunter said his father is still speaking publicly on issues he cares about and plans to publish a memoir after the midterm elections.
