Michael Flatley on cancer, castles and his next grand ambition

Michael Flatley talks with trademark positivity and honesty about a difficult few years — and his new business venture: Flatley Whiskey

Michael Flatley: “I don’t focus energies on what might go wrong or could go wrong but rather on how great I feel”.

Michael Flatley is on the mend. The ‘Lord of the Dance’ may not currently be in his castle — more of which later — but after a string of bad news, not least a cancer diagnosis, he is now “firing on all cylinders”.

“I’ve got a few health issues to deal with but I’m very positive about everything and I have every belief I will return to full health,” the 65-year-old says with typical bullishness.
