Dear friends,

after several months of unexplained pain and discomfort, I now have a diagnosis I can share on my illness.

Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer (very advanced), that has spread to the liver with several more malignant tumours.

As you might imagine, with me being ever-positive, I’m entirely defiant upon hearing the prognosis; incurable, inoperable, fatal, terminal. I’m not having it.

I CAN DO THIS and I will be unfaltering in my belief that no matter how difficult a journey I have up ahead, I will emerge healthier and stronger than ever.

This heartfelt out pouring of love and support from the music community is a reflection of

Karl’s reputation amongst the music community, where he is an esteemed and celebrated songwriter and performer. Karl is a friend and mentor to many, and the response is testament to the kind, generous and thoughtful human we know him to be.
