Musician Andy Rourke, bassist for The Smiths, has died at the age of 59 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer - which earlier this year also claimed the life of Jerry Springer.
The disease has one of the lowest survival rates of any cancer, so it's essential to catch it early if there's to be a chance of treatment.
Knowing the symptoms, which can be hard to spot, is crucial, as Cancer Research UK say just five per cent of patients survive for more than a decade after diagnosis.
