Heartbroken Scots family hail 'wee warrior' after eight-year-old's tragic cancer death

A heartbroken family has paid tribute to their 'wee warrior' Rudi Abbott, who has tragically died following a brave battle with cancer.

The eight-year-old, from Edinburgh, sadly passed away on Friday night. His death was announced by his devastated parents today, who hailed their son's bravery as 'truly incredible' following his three-year battle with pineoblastoma - a type of cancer that starts in the brain's pineal gland.

Little Rudi was first discovered to be suffering from the brain tumour in August 2020, Edinburgh Live reports. He underwent a series of treatments and therapies, with the family travelling to Seattle for an experimental trial last year.
