Both Matt Forde (Spinal tumour) and Mark Steel (throat cancer) announced medical issues... Good luck to both of them in their treatments.
Really sad for them both. Hope the treatment goes well. I had tickets for Mark Steel this weekend at the Civic that were cancelled over the weekend. Will be back once he is
I'm really sorry to hear this. I saw Matt last year at Edinburgh, and I really like Mark, seeing him a few times.
Excellent article from Mark Steel about it here: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/oct/09/mark-steel-comedian-cancer
I like Mark - his warmth and integrity. The Mark Steele lectures are well worth a listen, as is his 'In Town' tour on BBC Sounds.
It’ll be 20 years ago next month that I had my spinal cord tumour removed. Fingers crossed his post-op recovery is easier than mine was, cos it wasn’t much fun.
That was a really good read, thanks for sharing. Thought provoking, and reiterates, the fact that we need to enjoy every day ,life is precious. Prayers that his treatment is successful.
