Stevie Wonder will have a kidney transplant later this year, he said.
The singer talked about his condition to the crowd while he was finishing his set at the British Summer Time Hyde Park.
He stated that he had found a donor and that he would present three more shows before the operation in September, stating, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Fans welcomed the news with a strong and encouraging joy, applauding the 69-year-old singer as he left the stage.
He had just finished playing the Superstition song when he told the crowd that he wanted to prevent the spread of "rumors" about his health.
"Everything is fine, everything is fine, everything is fine, I have a donor and everything is fine," he said.
"I want you to know, I came here to give you my love and thank you for your love, I love you and God bless you."
According to the NHS, kidney failure or chronic end stage renal failure are the main reasons that warrant a transplant.
It is possible to donate a kidney while one is still alive, just a kidney to survive.
The support group of Wonder at Saturday's concert was his friend Lionel Richie.
In 2017, Wonder paid tribute to the former leader of Commodores by covering Easy at his honors ceremony at the Kennedy Center.
Richie later commented, "I got into the business because I wanted to be like Stevie Wonder, so suddenly for Stevie to sing my song, it was surreal."
