The Dub confirmed that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of cancer in 2024.
In February he shared an update on his health on the Formula for Success podcast: “I am in the middle of a chemo cycle at the moment. It happened to be on today when we’re doing this recording in good shape.
“I must say, look guys and girls, don’t be afraid. Go and get tested. I will just leave it at that. I don’t want to be a gramophone record going round and round. The reality is that there’s a great chance of survival. There’s an unbelievable opportunity of good medical care everywhere in the world now.
