Mike Peters, the Alarm’s frontman, passed away following a diagnosis of blood cancer. A representative for the charity he co-founded with his wife announced that Mike had passed away at the age of 66, three decades after receiving his first cancer diagnosis.
Due to his health, Mike was forced to halt his US tour last year after being diagnosed with a rapidly advancing lymphoma. Mike’s passing left behind his wife and two children, as was revealed today.
He had planned to depart for the US last year, but he got a lump in his neck just five days before his 50-date US tour began. He was soon identified with Richter’s syndrome, which is where the chronic lymphocytic leukaemia transforms into a more aggressive lymphoma, thanks to quick medical attention.
Mike was just 36 years old when he received his first blood cancer diagnosis more than 30 years ago. He shared his own positive update just last year as he lengthyly posted a message of support for others who were experiencing Richter’s syndrome.
He stated in a letter from The Christie Hospital in Manchester in September that Professor Adrian Bloor had just informed him that I was now in complete remission following the completion of the clinical trial and chemotherapy.
It’s significant news, especially given that I was only diagnosed with aggressive Richter’s Syndrome in April and informed that I could expect to live just two to twelve months without getting treated.
He then thanked his wife and two sons, Dylan and Evan, for their support, as well as those who he had worked with for ensuring that he could still be on stage and perform as he loved and avoid getting infected.
He claimed he felt “lucky” to have discovered the lump while participating in an NHS clinical trial. He claimed that he “could not be here right now” if he hadn’t discovered it, and that he had been given the opportunity to spend a few months by doctors.
Mike also made an open confession regarding his 1995 diagnosis, in which he reaffirmed his conviction that he would not “let the disease rob me of a single minute of my life.” He explained that music helped him stay “mental strong” and that he wouldn’t give up.
He added, “I also make sure I stay as fit as I can, walk five miles a day with my dog Ziggy, and DJ every Friday at my wife, Jules’ bar The Red in our village of Dyserth, as he once shared his hope of being cured” forever.
