Martin Kemp informed his son Roman that when he received his prior diagnoses for brain tumours, he had accepted the idea that his death was inevitable.

The bass player of Spandau Ballet, who is 62 years old, was found to have two brain tumors in the nineties. He needed to receive radiotherapy and surgery to remove them.

After the non-cancerous growths were effectively taken out and did not come back, Martin continued to struggle with epilepsy as a result.

During the premiere of their podcast FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp, Martin and his son Roman broached the topic of death in an honest and forthright manner. The episode was fittingly called Death, Martin and Roman. The 31-year-old co-hosted the show alongside his father.

Martin Kemp, who is 62 years old, recently revealed to his son, Roman, who is 31 years old, that his previous diagnoses of a brain tumour led him to feel like he had accepted the inevitability of his own death. He also estimated that he only has 10 years of life left to live.

During the initial instalment of the FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp podcast, which is co-hosted by Martin Kemp and his son Roman, the topic of death was openly discussed. Roman, who is 31 years old and shown in a photograph, spoke honestly on the matter.

Martin shared that he doesn't have an idea about how much time he has left. However, he recalled that when he was 34 years old, he experienced a scary situation regarding his brain tumor. He spent two years of his life thinking he would pass away.

I believe that all the days, years, and months that have passed since then, as well as every experience I've gone through, has been an added benefit.

I had come to accept that I would pass away, but I was content because I had enjoyed some amazing adventures.

Martin emphasized that when he was 34 years old and believed that he was going to succumb to death, he spent two whole years pondering about it. Astonishingly, he felt content and at peace with the idea. He mused, "If I do pass away, what a wonderful life I had." This was during his younger years. Hence, each year and month he continues to live is a treasured gift.

He informed his son that reaching the age of 80 would bring him joy and satisfaction, granting him 18 additional years to live.

The celebrity shared that while he was still recovering from the effects of his injury and his mind was not functioning well, he was offered the part of Steve Owen by EastEnders.

During the recording of the Dish podcast in 2022, Martin reminisced, "Those in my circle were vehemently advising against it. They cautioned me that it would shatter my career and urged me not to proceed."

"So, the reason was that the show had never featured any well-known actors before, isn't it? Everyone had been accustomed to watching EastEnders. Therefore, I was the initial name actor to join the cast."

Martin expressed his uncertainty by stating that his thought process was still impaired due to the surgery. At times, he found himself making errors such as walking in the opposite direction of where he intended to go. Additionally, he struggled with organizing tasks and thoughts.

Martin took on the well-known character of Steve Owen in EastEnders while he was going through a tough time with epilepsy after having tumors removed. This was in 1998 alongside his on-screen spouse Tamzin Outhwaite.

Memorizing scripts was extremely difficult for me. When I received the opportunity to work on EastEnders, it was a chance for me to move on from that struggle. It wasn't just a decision based on the fact that it was a good job opportunity, it was also a way for me to rebuild my life.

Those who follow the soap opera are aware that Martin achieved great success with his malicious role from 1998 to 2002, and it is still highly praised at present.

When discussing his medical care in 2009, Martin shared that the primary growth was as big as a flattened grapefruit and that physicians had to operate on his skull to access it.

The second tumour was extremely frightening and the medical professionals were hesitant to discuss it. It caused me to feel extremely concerned for the small entity residing within the center of my brain.

The doctors found that it was growing after a period of two years and suggested undergoing surgery. However, my better half was apprehensive about the operation as it would cause a significant amount of side effects.

She came across a physician who suggested that radiation treatment using the early version of Gamma Knife technology might be possible.

After undergoing treatment for a span of six months, indications of its demise started to emerge and presently it has been completely wiped out.

Oh my goodness! The podcast called "My Dad Is Martin Kemp" can be found on all platforms every Monday and on YouTube every Saturday.

Martin expressed, "I had already accepted my fate that I might not survive, but I was content with my life as I had been fortunate enough to live through numerous amazing adventures." (Roman can be seen in the photo alongside Martin).
