Steve McQueen reveals he paused Blitz filming for prostate cancer treatment


Film director, who has fully recovered, backs campaign to address disproportionate impact of disease on Black men

McQueen, who has fully recovered, released the statement after attending an event at the House of Commons to support Prostate Cancer Research.
