The musician had to cancel his US tour last year due to his health after he was diagnosed with fast-growing lymphoma.
He had been undergoing treatment in Manchester but has sadly died. The dad-of-two had been due to fly out to the States last year but just five days before his 50-date tour kicked off, he noticed a lump in his neck. Doctors were quick to asses him and he was soon diagnosed with Ritcher's syndrome, which is where the chronic lymphocytic leukaemia changes into a more aggressive lymphoma.
Mike had his first blood cancer diagnosed over three decades ago, when he was just 36 years old. Just last year, he posted a lenthy message of support for others going through Richter's syndrome - as he shared his own positive update. He wrote back in September: "I'm writing from The Christie Hospital in Manchester where I have just been informed by Professor Adrian Bloor that, following the completion of the Stellar Clinical Trial (involving the drug Alcalabrutinib) nd R-Chop chemotherapy, I am now in Complete Remission.
