In a welcomed update for fans across the nation, Aussie singing sensation John Farnham has emerged looking happy and healthy in recent photos following his cancer battle.
In August 2022, Farnham underwent surgery and treatment for mouth cancer. After enduring multiple surgeries, eight weeks of radiation therapy, and overcoming several challenges, Farnham received the “all-clear” from doctors in July 2023 and was declared cancer free.
The beloved Aussie singer has now returned to the public eye, making an appearance in a series of wedding photos from his son Rob’s special day.
Rob shared the touching snapshots on social media, showing Farnham looking well despite his recent health struggles.
“Shared the happiest moment with my favourite person in the universe and she said I do,” Rob wrote alongside the photos.
“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.”
Fans were overjoyed at the sight of Farnham in good health, flooding the comments section with congratulations for Rob as well as heartfelt wishes for his father’s continued well-being.
“Such a Beautiful Father Son pic,” one fan wrote.
“Congratulations to you both. It’s so nice to see your Dad, he looks fantastic! Love to you all xx.”
“Congratulations to you both! Blessings to you dad!”
“Everyone looked amazing! Your dad looks so well! And proud!!” commented another.
“Congratulations beautiful photos great to see John is well.”
Fans of Farnham’s were equally excited when they were treated to the first glimpse of the legendary Australian singer late last year.
The heartening revelation came in the form of a candid photo posted by his son, James, on Instagram, capturing a precious family moment during their Christmas celebration.
In the first photo shared online since Farnham’s cancer diagnosis, his wife Jillian stood beside him, wrapping her arm around him as they shared a smile.
“Merry merry to everyone! Hope you all have a safe and fun day!!!! Love yaz all!” James wrote.
The photo came after Farnham himself delivered a heartfelt message to his loyal fans, expressing his profound gratitude for their unwavering support throughout his health journey after he was declared cancer free.
To celebrate the incredible news, Farnham issued a statement to fans on Wednesday, August 23, 2023 his first since receiving surgery.
“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,” Farnham said at the time.
“I’m sure someone’s kept track of them all – let’s just say, there’s been a few. 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. It honestly means the world to me. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write and send a message.
“Today is a special day. And I’m going to mark it by having a pizza – because I can! I can’t wait to see what might be next on the menu. Bring on 2024.”
