Mike Peters is ill.Does anyone remember the band The Alarm? I was big into them in the eighties.
Sadly, the lead singer, Mike Peters, has been diagnosed with cancer. Apparently it's the return of a cancer that was put into remission about 10 years ago, and although it's not curable, it is treatable.
The Alarm, and later Mike as a solo artist were regulars at Greenbelt, and Mike famously taught Bono how to play "Knockin' On Heaven's Door".
He goes into his illness in some detail in an open letter on his website here.
I'm sure those who remember the band fondly will spare a thought or say a prayer for him.
