The comedian had previously recovered from non-Hodgkins lymphoma in his 40s but announced in 2020 that his cancer had returned.
“I was diagnosed… the cancer came back. I had it there again. I had it about three years ago, four years ago so I had some operation to remove some of my left lung and that was good. Good luck to that,” he revealed on RTÉ’S Oliver Callan show.
