Singer Morrissey has revealed he has been treated for a condition which, in rare cases, can lead to cancer.
The former Smiths star had to cancel a series of shows on his US tour after being taken to hospital suffering from a bleeding ulcer.
In a message posted on fan sites, he said he was also treated for a condition called Barrett's oesophagus, which is often caused by acid reflux. It is associated with an increased risk of cancer of the oesophagus.
