Ben Duffy's cancer is in remission...

Ben Duffy of Fenech Soler has announced that treatment for his cancer has been "100% successful".

The singer was diagnosed with early stage testicular cancer in March, cuasing some of the band's UK and European tour to be postponed.

In an announcement on the band's official website, Duffy said: "I am now in complete remission. It feels incredible to be back talking to you all and feeling well enough to start being back in action.

"The overwhelming support I’ve received from everyone over the last 11 weeks has been a constant powerhouse. Every message, comment, and tweet really has meant a lot and not just for me but for Ross, Daniel and Andrew too."

While the band are preparing for a summer of festivals, they've had to pull out of Selector in Poland and Parklife in Manchester this weekend. Their first show will be at Glastonbury on JUne 24.
