Nineties pop star Dario G has revealed that he has been diagnosed with stage four rectal cancer.
The musician, whose real name is Paul Spencer, took to social media to share the news with fans, but vowed that he’s “staying positive” as he awaits to hear more on next steps from his doctors at his next appointment.
Posting a picture from a recent performance on Twitter, Dario wrote: “Hard to write this. I’ve just found out that I’ve got stage 4 rectal cancer and a shadow on my liver. That’s damn hard to read too I’m sure.
“Gonna give it my best shot though. Stay positive, cos I am. Always. Seeing the doctors on Friday to discuss the next steps.”
He concluded his post with “#f**kcancer” and a four-leaf clover emoji.
Fans rushed to offer their words of support in response on the micro-blogging site.
“Sending our love and strength,” wrote one person.
“Stay strong,” penned another.
Others hailed him as “brave” for sharing his diagnosis.
Dario was previously part of the electronic music trio known as Dario G, with their house track Sunchyme reaching Number Two in the UK charts.
The song’s iconic video featured dancers in safari costumes and matching makeup.
While the trio, which also featured Scott Rosser and Stephen Spencer, has since disbanded, Dario continues to perform under its stage name.
He most recently took to the stage at the Biggest 90s Disco, which featured other music acts including Vengaboys, 2 Unlimited, Haddaway and Phats & Small.
