Veteran comedian Tommy Cannon has spoken candidly about the profound fear he experienced after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in his 50s, a moment he described as being "frightened to death". Now 87, the entertainer, widely recognised as one half of the beloved duo Cannon and Ball, is using his platform to raise awareness for Prostate Cancer UK, having lived with the condition under active surveillance for over two decades.
Cannon, who became a household name alongside the late Bobby Ball through their eponymous ITV variety show from 1979 to 1988, recounted the shock of his diagnosis to the Press Association.
