British DJ Mark Radcliffe has a voice that's instantly recognisable to many people in the UK. He went from being a music obsessed teenager in the northern British town of Bolton, to hanging out with his heroes on his radio show - including Kate Bush and David Bowie. But in 2018 Mark was diagnosed with cancer of the mouth and throat and he feared he might lose his voice forever. He tells us why he decided to tell listeners he had cancer, live on his radio show and how music helped him through the most difficult time of his life. He's written a book about his experience called Crossroads.
