Sharkey revealed cancer scare

- BY STEPH SPYRO

THE Undertones singer Feargal Sharkey has revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer following a visit to his doctor for a sore throat.

Feargal is doing “very well” after the health issue was “resolved” a year ago.

He has revealed his diagnosis publicly for the first time in a bid to encourage other men to get tested for cancer.

The 66-year-old said: “About a year and a half ago, I randomly went to see my GP with a sore throat.

“Now I've known him long enough but he goes, ‘No no, you're that bloke that used to sing. So if you're telling me you've got a sore throat, there's something going on'.
