The lead singer of Lawson has revealed he is going through chemotherapy.
Andy Brown has been living with a rare blood disorder for a decade, but he told his 68,000 Instagram followers he now needs a stem cell transplant.
But the dad-of-two, 38, has found a donor, and is now undergoing chemotherapy before the transplant.
If he does not receive the transplant, Andy said there’s a 'very high' chance he could develop leukaemia.
“Day 4 of chemo done ✅ It's stepped up big time the last couple of days, not feeling the best at the moment, but there's just no way round it,” he shared on Instagram, alongside a selfie from hospital.
“Three more days to go, then the new stem cells go in next Tuesday!”
He added: “Staying positive as much as I can, but I won't pretend it's easy. I've spent years being so mindful of what I put into my body, ten years sober, clean eating, all of it.
“So feeling what this chemo is doing hits hard. But I know it's part of the fight. It's about accepting it, getting through it, and coming back stronger.”
The singer also admitted the food he was eating in hospital is less-than ideal - and that he wants to launch a campaign with Jamie Oliver.
“Also… can we talk about hospital food? The food here is challenging, to say the least. Hospitals are meant to heal us, but what they're serving up feels like the opposite, there's zero nutritional value in this food.
“I know the NHS is under massive pressure, and this isn't on the amazing staff looking after us. But food is fuel, and it matters. When I'm through this, I'm going to try and do something about it. Maybe I can get @jamieoliver on board!”
He added that he’s grateful to have a “second chance at life” and urged people to join the donor register.
“Stem cell donors are hard to find. You could literally be the match that saves a little girl's life, a dad's life, someone's world.
“If you're healthy and able, please consider signing up to the register. It takes minutes, but it can change everything for someone like me. This is just another chapter. Nothing is gonna stop me.”
Last month, Andy revealed he had been living with a rare blood disorder for the last ten years.
“Up to now, it hadn't massively affected my day to day life, apart from frequent blood tests and the occasional infection, but as things stand, if it's not treated, I have a very high chance of developing Leukemia,” he said.
“I've been under close supervision at King's College Hospital in London, which has one of the country's leading hematology departments. And after a lot of discussions, we've come to the decision that the best way to prevent leukemia is for me to have a stem cell transplant.”
