Sad. Seems like a sound chap, from that interview. Philosophical but honest about it.

Apparently, he’s done a documentary about it on BBC Radio 4, so I’ll be looking out for that on BBC Sounds.

Ah that's sad. I once accidentally over charged him for a crate of Stella and he was sound about it. Nice guy.

I shall be seeing him soon as they’re the support to Simple Minds on the current UK tour.

It was aired on proper radio this afternoon   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001x49y
As has been said, he seems a thoroughly decent grounded chap.

It's sad news, but he seems to be handling his diagnosis pretty well. I've seen him live several times - sometimes solo, sometimes with Del Amitri - his voice has always been wonderful. At gigs, he's always come across as a thoroughly grounded bloke, very engaging. I wish him well and hope that he's able to do what he clearly loves doing for many years to come.

Just back from Nottingham and happy to report that Justin (and the rest of the band) is in fine voice.

Urgh, this sucks.
