Mike Peters, frontman of Welsh band The Alarm, is in remission from aggressive cancer Mike Peters, frontman of Welsh band The Alarm, is in remission from aggressive cancer thanks to an NHS drug trial. The 65-year-old rock star, who was forced to cancel a US tour earlier this year after being diagnosed with fast-growing lymphoma, has been given the all-clear following experimental therapy at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.
Medics now want to find a suitable donor so the star can undergo a stem cell transplant, which should prevent the leukaemia taking hold again. Peters said: ‘It’s amazing, especially when you go on the internet to look at other cases of Richter’s syndrome, which is not many, and you read that some people aren’t fortunate enough to get into remission so can’t proceed with other treatments. ‘Having complete remission thanks to this trial has been incredible.
