Singing legend Ó Sé says routine visit to doctor found cancer and saved his life

Traditional Irish singing legend Sean Ó Sé has spoken openly about his battle with cancer in the hope that it will encourage men over 50 to get regular health checks.

The man known for decades as “The Pocar” said if it wasn’t for a routine trip to his GP for a blood pressure check he wouldn’t be alive today.

“I’m alive because it was caught in time,” he said.
