Australian singer’s family says ‘things are moving in the right direction’ and thanks Victorian medical professionals
Australian singer John Farnham has been transferred into a rehabilitation facility in Melbourne, after 12-hour mouth cancer surgery in August left him in ICU for more than a week.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Farnham family said “things are moving in the right direction and for that we are enormously thankful”. The 73-year-old reportedly had part of his jaw removed, followed by reconstructive surgery, in a Melbourne hospital in August. At the time the family said: “There is still a long road of recovery and healing ahead of us, but we know John is up for that task.”
Thursday’s statement detailed that the singer had been moved from ICU and into a general ward “a couple of weeks ago. That in itself was terrific progress.”“Our family are so very grateful to all the remarkable teams of Victorian medical professionals who have taken such good care of John. These outcomes are a credit to your dedication, skills and compassion.”“Being surrounded by this much love and support has meant the world to us all. Thank you.

'And Britain and Britishness has been undergoing a very strange business in the last 20 years – forever questioning itself, forever saying 'what are we? Who are we?'.
