'It changed the trajectory of my life': Singer Delta Goodrem, 40, discusses shock teenage cancer diagnosis and losing her voice at 30 on new Mail podcast


Before embarking on her first world tour at 18, Delta was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, an aggressive type of blood cancer.

From a shock teenage cancer diagnosis to having to relearn how to speak at 30, Australian singer Delta Goodrem discussed the health battles that transformed her career on the latest episode of the Mail's Life of Bryony podcast. The former partner of Westlife singer Brian McFadden signed her first recording contract at only 15 years old and her 2003 debut album 'Innocent Eyes' topped charts for 29 weeks. Speaking to Mail columnist Bryony Gordon, Delta recounted the two greatest health challenges of her life: the early cancer diagnosis and the 'game-changing' moment she lost her voice after having an operation on her throat.
