Morrissey has spoken out about his recent hospitalisation and health struggles, revealing that he has undergone a series of cancer treatments. 

The singer, who released his comeback album World Peace Is None Of Your Business earlier this year, was forced to cancel a number of tour dates due to illness.

Now, he's told Spanish website El Mundo about his health and cancer treatment, reports the Guardian

"They have scraped cancerous tissues four times already, but whatever," said Morrissey."If I die, then I die. And if I don’t, then I don’t. Right now I feel good.

"I am aware that in some of my recent photos I look somewhat unhealthy, but that’s what illness can do. I’m not going to worry about that, I’ll rest when I’m dead."

This is the first mention of the 55-year-old suffering from cancer, having previously suffered with with a bleeding ulcer in early 2013, double pneumonia in March 2013, food poisoning in July 2013 and then a respiratory infection earlier this year.

He seems to be back fighting fit now though - taking to the stage to kick off his latest tour and hit out at record label with his band in 'FUCK HARVEST' t-shirts

Morrissey makes his return to the UK with a massive show at London's O2 Arena on 29 November, supported by Anna Calvi. Tickets are on sale now. For tickets and more information, visit here.
