Ladyhawke opens up about cancer scare

Ladyhawke has revealed she's just survived "an incredibly hard time" with a cancer scare, which she's had cleared through surgery.

The 'My Delirium' hitmaker, real name Pip Brown, took to Instagram on Tuesday morning with a photo of herself in a hospital bed to explain what happened.

"I never normally post things like this, but I've just been through an incredibly hard time and I've come out the other side," says Ladyhawke.

"I was diagnosed with invasive melanoma and for a small time there I didn't know what the end of my story was going to look like. But I'm one lymph node down and there's a pretty awesome scar down the back of my leg now - and I've been cleared of cancer.

"I've never been so scared in my life and it really made me realise a lot of things. I'm a lucky lady with the best family and friends in the world."

She passionately thanks the people close to her for their support during the treatment.

"I want to say a massive thank you to my friends and family for all their thoughts, good vibes, positive affirmations, positive mental visualisations, prayers, cards, flowers, food, crystals, everything, from all different ways of thinking. I needed all those things."

Ladyhawke ends the post with a warning: "Get ya bloody moles checked people! And wear sun screen! Please."

The 39-year-old singer and her filmmaker wife Madeleine Sami welcomed a baby girl in October last year.

As well as photos of her in hospital, the Instagram post includes a photo of the couple and their daughter.
