The Alarm frontman Mike Peters has died following a blood cancer diagnosis. It was announced by a spokesperson for the charity he co-founded with his wife that Mike has died at the age of 66.
Mike had to cancel his US tour last year owing to his health, when he was diagnosed with fast-growing lymphoma. He had been undergoing treatment in Manchester but has sadly died.
He had been due to fly out to the US last year - but just five days before his 50 date US tour began, he noticed a lump in his neck. Doctors were quick to check him out and he was soon diagnosed with Richter's syndrome, which is where the chronic lymphocytic leukaemia changes into a more aggressive lymphoma.
