Beloved former Aussie Idol singer Courtney Murphy has revealed to Perth Now he’s “not beating this” after an 18-month battle with late-stage bowel cancer.
Despite undergoing regular chemotherapy, he’s still performing with brothers Chris & Kieran for The Murphy Brothers and just announced they're opening for Crowded House at the Red Hot Summer Tour on December 6... plus working on a new album!
Courtney told Perth Now, “I’m not beating this, I’m just going to be as strong as long as I can, and that’s all I’m going to focus on, because there’s two truths happening at once. One is, I’m going to pass away at some point, but I’ll deal with that when that comes. So right now, the other truth is I’m here, and I’m going to put out as much creative output as I possibly can with these two amazing human beings next to me.”
We wish Courtney and his family every blessing in the world.

Vale, June Lockhart.
