The operation, carried out by 26 medical staff, also impacted his jaw.

A year following the surgery Farnham revealed that he was cancer free.

John stunned fans fans earlier this year when he attended his son Rob’s wedding to sweetheart Melissa. 

It comes after John’s wife Jill revealed graphic details concerning John’s harrowing health journey.

The famously private partner of the showman penned two chapters of John’s new memoir The Voice Inside, sharing a tell-all concerning his cancer battle.

Jill set the record straight on what exactly doctors took from the chart topper’s face and whether he’ll sing again.

‘I don’t know if John will sing again. It just depends,’ she confessed in the book.

‘Because of the radiation, that whole side of his face is rock hard. The flesh, the muscle, the tendons, none of it is supple.’

Jill went on to say that surgeons are currently ‘working out how to loosen it all’, adding that Farnham is ‘disappointed’ that he ‘may not be up on stage again’.

She then added: ‘And, just for the record, they didn’t take his jaw.’

Jill explained doctors took scrapings from Farnham’s jaw bone to test if cancer had infected the bone, but later discovered it hadn’t.

The hitmaker has ‘still got his bottom jaw, even though the radiation has messed that up a little bit’.

John’s memoir The Voice Inside was released across on Wednesday, October 30.

The book documents the performer’s early life and stardom growing up in Melbourne in the 1960s, to his comeback 1986 album Whispering Jack.

John bravely elected to record an audio book of his memoir, which was previewed last week.

It was the first time time fans could hear what the chart topper sounded like since his surgery.
