Barry Humphries fought a secret battle with inoperable cancer for years before his death last week.
The Australian actor and comic, known for his alter ego Dame Edna Everage, died aged 89 on April 22 following complications from a recent hip replacement surgery.
“Close family sources” confirmed to the The Saturday Telegraph he had been diagnosed with Extramammary Paget’s disease, a rare form of skin cancer, in 2021 after noticing “something unusual” on one of his testicles when he was in the shower.
