John Mellencamp asks daughter Teddi Mellencamp to move home to Indiana amid her Stage IV melanoma battle that spread to her brain and lungs.
"I said, 'Move back to Indiana, bring the kids and just come back and live in Indiana,' but she won't do it." Lori Bashian is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"I said, 'Move back to Indiana, bring the kids and just come back and live in Indiana,' but she won't do it," he said.
Teddi first shared she was diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma in March 2022, later sharing in April 2025 that her skin cancer had grown to Stage IV and that it had spread to her brain and lungs. She had surgery to remove the tumors on her brain, saying at the time that while getting them removed, doctors ended up finding more.
