Slade star Noddy Holder has revealed that he has been battling throat cancer for five years and was given six months to live when he was first diagnosed.
His wife Suzan detailed his secret health battle in an emotional piece written for Great British Life.
Noddy, 77, underwent a new trial of chemotherapy which has helped to keep him alive.
Suzan wrote: “Five years ago we were given the devastating news that he had oesophageal cancer and only had six months to live.
I’m sorry if that comes as a bit of a shock; it came as a total bombshell to us too. We coped with it the only way we could, by hunkering down, sticking together and doing everything we could to survive it.
We told only immediate close family and friends and I will never apologise to those we did not confide in, only to those who were forced to suffer pain and anguish alongside us as we attempted to navigate our way through this new and horrifying world.”
Suzan married Noddy in 2004 and said the Merry Xmas Everyone singer has managed to keep a positive outlook despite his health woes.
He received treatment at The Christie Hospital in Manchester and underwent a groundbreaking new form of chemotherapy which has helped keep him alive.
Suzan wrote: “There were no guarantees, no one knew if it would have any effect, let alone work miracles, but he responded well.”
