Martin Kemp's wife Shirlie has broken her silence as she enjoyed her garden, following Martin's shock health confession. Shirlie, 62, took to Instagram to share a video of the flowers in her garden bathed in sunlight, but she chose not to add a caption.
She also added on Wednesday 1, May that she was suffering with her health too. She said: "I've had a cough for over a month and told it's a 100 day cough." Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp recently revealed to his son, former Capital Radio Breakfast host Roman Kemp, that he thinks he may only have a decade left to live.
The popular father-and-son duo have just launched their new podcast - FFS! My dad Is Martin Kemp - and kicking off the series, 62-year-old Martin and Roman, 31, tackled the heavy subject of death head-on. With a no-holds-barred attitude, Martin told his son that he thinks he only has around a decade left alive, as he said: "10 years, I don't know".
The pop icon recounted his battle with a brain tumour at the age of 34, which led him to come to terms with the possibility of dying. Martin shared: "But I was the age of 34 when I went through all that brain tumour scare and I went through two years of my life thinking I was going to die." He expressed gratitude for every moment since that ordeal, saying, "Every day, every year every month that I've lived has been a bonus." "When I was 34 and I went through that brain tumour stuff, I was practically resigned to the fact I was gonna die," he said He continued: "But I was quite happy, because I'd lived the most incredible experiences.
I lived through the 80s in a rock band, the people I met, the things I'd done. When I was 17 I was flying around Europe on jets drinking champagne at 7am." Martin went on to say that
