The doctor who discovered Peter’s condition warned him he wouldn’t be able to sing again, which devastated him deeply.

“I’ve been doing it for 30 years, it was my living. I was about to retire, but I would never retire from singing,” he said.

Peter shared that he was off work for “about 12 months” after undergoing an intense 11-hour surgery to remove his cancer. During that time, he was left without teeth for “seven or eight months.”

“They had to fit implants because they had to remove all the teeth in the mouth for the operation,” he explained.

Now, with implants replacing all of his teeth, Peter is fortunately back to singing and has successfully beaten cancer.

In honor of Meat Loaf’s third death anniversary, the tribute act has launched a new song titled January 20th.

Peter added: “I need to pay my bills that have mounted up during lockdown and Covid and everything else.

“I wasn’t forced to carry on. I’ll sing ‘til I drop, whilst I can still do it I’m gonna still do it.

“Meat Loaf’s not the easiest to do, but it seems to be my niche.”
