John Farnham’s family shares an update on his health
John Farnham’s family has shared an update on his health as he recovers in hospital after marathon surgery to remove a cancerous tumour from his mouth.
The music icon underwent 12-hour surgery on August 23.
Jill Farnham has today provided an update on John’s condition.
He remains in a stable condition in ICU.
“He is awake and responding well to the care he’s receiving,” the statement said.
The Farnham family have thanked well-wishers for their messages, and a website — weloveyoujohn.com.au — has been established today for fans to send messages of support to John and the family.
“The fact he’s still in ICU is not in any way surprising, I was told he could be in there for weeks,” entertainment reporter Peter Ford told Ross and Russel.
