The world’s most famous American-Irish tap dancer and choreographer Michael Flatley is battling an aggressive form of cancer. He recently underwent major surgery. This is stated on his Instagram page.
“Michael Flatley has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. He has undergone surgery and is under the care of an excellent team of doctors. There is no further comment to be made at this time. We only ask that your prayers and good wishes. Thank you,” the message said.
Flatley is popularly called the “Celtic Tiger”. He is now recovering from surgery. The star is supported by his 44-year-old wife Niamh and 15-year-old son Michael.
At the same time, it is known that this is not the first time that the dancer is fighting cancer. In 2003, he was diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
“We were at the fifth anniversary of Lord of the Dance in Las Vegas and I was doing an interview with MTV. Someone watched the interview and brought it to the attention of my personal assistant and said, ‘Did you notice the brown spot on the face? Michael’s?’ “I didn’t even notice. They told me to go and see. I did, and the doctor immediately took a sample. The next day, I was flying to Barbados, and he called me and sent me over. . I said I’m leaving for the airport, and will he mind if I call him when I get back? He said, “No, I need you to come immediately.” It’s a bit scary. I canceled the flight and went straight “To him. He said that if I launched the disease in a couple of weeks, he probably wouldn’t be able to do anything for me,” Flatley said of the disease.
He admitted that the disease seriously changed his outlook on life, especially on wealth and material wealth. So he values family and loved ones more.
It is also worth noting that Flatley is a well-known philanthropist. In 2003, he received a special award from Prince Rainier of Monaco for his support of various charities.
We remind you, the guitarist of the famous British band Duran Duran, Andy Taylor, admitted that he has stage four prostate cancer.
