Some are speculating that it's early stage prostate cancer. Hope its diagnosis gives him a good chance of beating it.

Best of luck to him.

I read early tonight that it is an aggressive cancer but at the moment there are all sorts of rumours flying around.
I hope whatever type he has it is manageable, Cancer is such a dreadful disease and my thoughts are with him tonight.

Wish him well. Back in the early 80’s his every word was solid gold. Bar Nigel Blackwell, probably the finest lyricist of his generation

He wasn't too bad in the late 70's either.

Oliver's Army is one of the finest songs ever written.

Yeh, I know, it’s probably footie related bias swaying my judgment, but come on...... “Well I marvel at the things we find beneath the ground, and that man can go faster than the speed of sound, but I still can’t get my head around, Bob Wilson, anchorman!”

He himself says it was a small, very aggressive tumour that has been successfully removed with a single surgery.
He says his consultant told him he is a very, very lucky man.
