Martin Kemp Health

Martin Kemp was diagnosed with two brain tumors in 1995. One of the tumors was the size of a grapefruit, and the other was embedded deep in his brain. Although major surgery and a bout of radiotherapy saved his life, it has left him with debilitating side effects that he will have for the rest of his life.

He is now epileptic, dependent on medication, and severely dyslexic. His wife, Shirlie, a former member of the band Wham!, has also spoken out about her husband’s tumors, admitting that she thought he might die.

Symptoms of brain tumors include headaches, seizures, persistently feeling sick, being sick, drowsiness, mental or behavioral changes, such as memory problems or changes in personality, progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, and vision or speech problems.
