The Waiting Room is the third solo album by Canadian musician John Mann, released in 2014.[1] The album comprises songs inspired by Mann's experience being diagnosed with and treated for colorectal cancer in the early 2010s.[2]
Several months after the album's release, Mann also revealed that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.[3]
In addition to the album, Mann collaborated with playwright Morris Panych on a stage adaptation.[4] Mann was originally slated to play the lead role himself, although due to his Alzheimer's diagnosis he did not do so.[4] The play premiered in a production by Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre Company in 2015, with actor Jonathon Young in the lead role;[5] Mann participated in the production by playing several of the album's songs live on stage.[5]
