Photos of Australian music legend John Farnham have surfaced, showing the rock star in high spirits after his recent battle with cancer. Farnham, who declared himself cancer-free last August, was photographed at his son Rob’s wedding to his bride, Melissa.
The 74-year-old underwent a gruelling 12-hour surgery by 26 doctors to remove an oral tumour in 2022. Since then, his public appearances have been rare. However, recent Instagram photos from Rob’s wedding showcase Farnham looking cheerful and healthy.
Rob shared the joyous occasion on Instagram, writing, “Shared the happiest moment with my favourite person in the universe and she said I do. Melissa, my life is forever better that you’re apart of it. You looked radiant, beautiful and elegant. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us and I’m truly honoured to have you by my side as my wife for life❤️.”
Last year Farnham expressed his gratitude for the support he received during his recovery from cancer. He said, “It’s been a year since my first surgery and to be honest I’ve lost count as to how many other procedures there’s been since then.”
He continued, “But, I’m home now and I’m a very grateful and happy man. I’m sitting here in my living room lapping up the attention from my beautiful wife, Jill, my boys Rob and James and my mini Schnauzer, Edmund.
“It’s only now that I can start to appreciate and comprehend, for myself, how many messages of love and support have been sent to me over the past year. I don’t know what to say, other than thank you so very much.
“Today is a special day. And I’m going to mark it by having a pizza – because I can!”
Farnham is now cancer-free and looking in great shape! Here’s a sneak peak of the day:
