The Jonas Brothers star Kevin Jonas has sent out a warning to his millions of fans across the world, after he was recently diagnosed with skin cancer and forced to get a mole removed from his forehead.

Kevin, who is in the band with his brothers Joe and Nick, took to social media to confirm the shock news in a video, writing on Instagram: 'Friendly reminder to get your moles checked 🙏'.

In the video, Kevin says: "So today I am getting a basal-cell carcinoma removed from my head. Yes, that is an actual little skin cancer guy that has started to grow. And now I have to get surgery to remove it, so here we go."

Following the procedure, Kevin updated fans saying: "Alright, I'm done. Now it's time to heal. Heading home," before adding: "Make sure to get those moles checked, people."

After seeing the post, Kevin's fans and friends were quick to comment, with many praising the 'Sucker' singer for sharing his experiment are urging his fans to get checked.

One wrote: 'Thank God it was early detected 🙏🏽 You got me shaking! Get well soon lovey, praying for you 💗', with another adding: 'Oh Kevin, sending lots of love your way. So glad you were able to catch it so soon. Hope you recover fast ❤️'. (sic)

A third wrote: 'I’m glad you checked that mole in time. I love you and get well soon ❤️', with a fourth adding: 'Omg Kevin you scared me so much 😭😭😭 Love you, take care ❤️'. (sic)
