He explained that he initially thought his father, William, had suffered a stroke.
However, after extensive medical tests, it was revealed that he has incurable cancer.

James’ post continued: “It was what I had dreaded, my dad has a tumour and after having a biopsy it’s come back that it’s an aggressive cancerous one.
“It was what I had dreaded”
“The worst kind unfortunately. We have been told that it’s not advisable to operate because of where the tumour is and wouldn’t actually make that much difference even if they could.
“The end result is, it’s terminal.”
Joe responded by remarking how much better William is apparently looking.
He wrote: “This vid is amazing!! It So good 2 see your dad doing better xxxxx.”
“This vid is amazing!!”
Several of James’s fans worried if Joe hadn’t read the post, and instead simply watched the video component.
