Longthorne to perform just weeks before cancer op
The singer Joe Longthorne, from Hull, is performing tonight just weeks before facing gruelling cancer treatment.
The 59-year-old fought back from leukaemia in 2006 but was told he had throat cancer in May. He's having a major operation to try and treat the cancer next month.
But he's still taking to the stage tonight at Leeds City Varieties. He has 74 shows booked for the summer and has promised to play as many as the illness allows.
