He was set to join Liam Gallagher on his shows at Manchester's Etihad and Knebworth Park earlier this year, but had to pull out after he made the announcement in April that he had been diagnosed with tonsil cancer.

Sharing the update on Thursday evening, September 29, he thanked fans for the messages of support he received following his diagnosis and announced he was now in recovery.
