JOHN FARNHAM'S BRAVE BATTLE

If it wasn’t for his devoted wife, Jill, Aussie legend John Farnham may never have discovered the mouth tumour that almost cost him his life.

John only sought the early medical treatment  which saved his life at the urging of his loving wife.

Just a few short weeks after saying goodbye to his dear friend, Olivia Newton-John, the 73-year-old singer was raced to a Melbourne hospital for a marathon 11-and-a-half-hour surgery to remove part of his jaw and the cancerous tumour, which was discovered less than three weeks ago.

Jill and their sons, Robert, 42, and James, 34, were by John’s side.

“There is still a long road of recovery and healing ahead of us, but we know John is up for that task,” a relieved Jill said in a statement issued after the terrifying ordeal.
