Legendary Aussie singer John Farnham has revealed he is battling cancer.
The 73-year-old has confirmed that doctors have discovered a cancerous growth.
He has been admitted to hospital and is expected to undergo surgery today.
“Cancer diagnosis is something that so many people face every single day, and countless others have walked this path before me,” Farnham said in a statement.
“The one thing I know for sure is that we have the very best specialist healthcare professionals in Victoria, and we can all be grateful for that. I know I am.`
“We request that the media please respect the family’s privacy at this time.”
Farnham’s cancer diagnosis comes just weeks after the death of his close friend Olivia Newton-John after a long battle with cancer.
More to come.
