Martin Kemp believes he has '10 years to live' after double brain tumour diagnosis
Martin Kemp, a regular on Celebrity Gogglebox, shared with his son Roman Kemp that he believes he only has ten years remaining on this Earth. The two recently debuted their podcast, titled FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp, and decided to broach the sensitive topic of mortality in the first episode. Martin, who is currently 62 years old, discussed his thoughts and feelings with his 31-year-old son.
The ex-star of EastEnders was asked about his remaining time and he guessed saying, "I don't know, perhaps 10 years?" He talked about his difficult experience with his brain tumour at 34 years old that made him face the reality of death. This happened when he was still part of the famous band, Spandau Ballet.
Martin revealed that when he was 34 years old, he had a frightful experience with a brain tumour that lasted for two whole years. During this time, he believed that he was going to die. However, he has been thankful for every single moment of his life since that traumatic incident. According to him, each day, month, and year he has lived is a gift that he cherishes.
According to recent reports, Martin Kemp has expressed his belief that he has only a decade left to live.
According to The Express, he recounted his experience with a brain tumour when he was 34 and how he came to an acceptance of his imminent death.
He went on to say: "However, I found contentment in my past because I had the pleasure of experiencing remarkable events. I spent the decade of the 80s playing in a band and came across fascinating individuals while engaging in remarkable activities. At the young age of 17, I was travelling across Europe on private planes, indulging in champagne as early as 7am."
When I believed that my time on Earth was coming to an end, I realized that I was content with my life. This occurred some time ago, so now every additional year and month that I am able to continue living feels like an extra gift.
Martin and Roman have been an impressive father-son team in the world of entertainment, bringing joy and humor to audiences through their appearances on shows like Celebrity Gogglebox and their representation for Vision Express.
However, the couple has now expanded their horizons by creating their very own podcast. Roman shared a touching reason for pursuing this exciting project, expressing, "I desire to engage in activities with you because as I grow older, I want to have proof of our special relationship to share with my future grandchildren."
This news comes after Roman left Capital FM in an emotional way. He presented his final show in March, concluding his ten-year career on the radio station.
He made up his mind after considering the great pain of losing his close companion and fellow Capital FM staff member, Joe Lyons. Sadly, Joe passed away at the young age of 31, through suicide, in the year 2020.
The popular host of The One Show has revealed to The Mirror that it's time for her to move on from her past experiences. She stated, "I feel prepared to say goodbye to the past and not dwell on the unpleasant memories anymore. Whenever I walk into that place and see Joe, it reminds me of the ordeal. Moving ahead in life appears to be the right thing to do for me."
