Scottish comedian Janey Godley has cancelled her autumn tour explaining that her terminal ovarian cancer has spread.
Godley, 63, from Glasgow, was due to begin her Why Is She Still Here? tour, which included dates across UK cities including London, Belfast and Edinburgh, before her doctors advised her that she should stop working ‘for the foreseeable future’.
Taking to social media with a heartbreaking statement, she announced: ‘I have to cancel my upcoming tour, I’m sorry but the cancer has spread and the Beatson cancer team have advised me to stop work.
‘I am currently in hospital with sepsis ( it’s under control) pls contact your theatre for a refund – I’m sorry everyone.’
A statement said: ‘It is with huge sadness that we must announce the cancellation of Janey Godley’s autumn 2024 tour.
‘Janey has been living with stage four ovarian cancer for the past few years and the treatment from the wonderful Scottish NHS has kept the disease at bay, but sadly in the last few weeks the cancer has returned and there have been a few added complications.
