John Stamos vows to support his friend Dave Coulier through his tough time, who has been diagnosed with cancer. The Full House cast member was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Coulier, 65, spoke out about his recent cancer diagnosis, one which he discovered in October as a result of unusually inflamed lymph nodes brought on by a respiratory illness. Coulier also told People on November 13 that he had been diagnosed with throat cancer. And soon, John Stamos, his friend and co-star, reached out through social media with a touching post.
Stamos, 61, shared pictures on his post, which focused on their decades-long enduring friendship. He captioned, “My brother from day 1. Love you @dcoulier, and I’ll be by your side through it all.”
He posted a snap of himself tightly hugging Coulier before proceeding to reel back their memories of hanging out together since their Full House days, which aired between 1987 and 1995. He also shared beautiful moments with their late colleague Bob Saget, who died aged 65 in January 2022.
Stamos extended his support and faith in Coulier and hoped never to abandon him during this hard period of his life. Melissa Bring, Dave Coulier’s spouse, also thanked Stamos through a comment, writing, “Love you PP – thank you for the daily support and love!!”
Coulier revealed to the outlet that Stamos had called him, saying he was coming to see him the following Saturday (November 16), which is the day after his chemotherapy. “He goes, ‘If you want to just sleep, I’ll just sit by you, or if you want to listen to music or just talk, whatever.’ And I’m just like, ‘Wow. That’s like a brother. That’s just truly a brother,'” Coulier told the outlet.
In regards to his diagnosis, he opted to speak with his Full House family members such as Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber, Jodie Sweetin, Lori Loughlin, Scott Weinger, and the show’s creator, Jeff Franklin. He also told the outlet how each of the actors were prompt in their response upon hearing the news of his cancer diagnosis; each of them asked what they could do to assist him.
Thinking of how much love he has received, Dave Coulier appreciated how the friendship between the cast members of the show has remained strong over the years and the support from them has been overwhelming.

Quincy Jones’ cause of death was revealed nearly a fortnight after his passing on November 3. According to a death certificate obtained by TMZ on Wednesday, November 13, the legendary musician died of pancreatic cancer, with no other contributing factors to his death at age 91.
Before his death, Jones did not publicly share his cancer diagnosis.
“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing. Although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he lived and know there will never be another like him,” Jones’ family said in a statement, as reported by multiple celebrity news outlets.

Following her father’s death, Rashida shared an emotional tribute.
“My dad was nocturnal his whole life. He kept ‘jazz hours’ starting in high school and never looked back. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him,” Rashida wrote via Instagram on November 7. She described her father as love personified and shared how he would never send her back to bed after she found him composing somewhere in the house late at night. Instead, he would smile, bring her into his arms, and continue scribbling ideas on sheet music.
Jones’s musical legacy includes achievements such as being the second most-awarded Grammy artist of all time, with 28 Grammy Awards.
As a producer and arranger, he collaborated with giants like Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, and Aretha Franklin.
Beyond his musical prowess, Jones’s cultural reach extended to attending state dinners with figures like Picasso, celebrating birthdays with Nelson Mandela, and retreating to Marlon Brando’s island in the South Pacific to recover from a breakdown. He oversaw President Bill Clinton’s first inauguration celebration and supervised the all-star recording of We Are the World, the iconic 1985 record for famine relief.
One week after his death, Jones’s family gathered for a private funeral in Los Angeles. Though no further details about the memorial were shared, the family expressed gratitude through the Associated Press for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from friends and admirers worldwide.
