Michael Flatley has said he is “on the mend” after having surgery to treat his cancer.
The 64-year-old choreographer, best known for creating Irish dancing troupe Riverdance, also told fans he had been released from hospital and was overwhelmed by kind messages.
Flatley told his followers on Instagram: “Thank you to everyone around the world for your love and prayers.
“I am overwhelmed by your kindness. I have been released from hospital and am on the mend.”
In a post last week, Flatley’s account revealed he had undergone surgery for “an aggressive form of cancer” and was in the care of “excellent doctors”.
Flatley, who was born into a blue-collar Irish-American family in Chicago, rose to fame when Riverdance performed during a seven-minute interval at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994.
