Top British DJ reveals she’s been diagnosed with cancer for the 4th time as fans rally to support her

TOP British DJ Hannah Wants has revealed she’s been diagnosed with cancer for the 4th time.

The Birmingham star, 38, opened up about her fresh battle in a candid Instagram post, which saw her fans rally behind her.

Hannah – real name Hannah Smith – has been a DJ since the age of 18, and is best known for her Radio 1 residency.

But behind-the-scenes, the brave star has been battling breast cancer, and has now revealed it has returned again.

In an emotional Instagram post, Hannah shared a picture of herself in hospital.

Opening up she wrote: “This definitely isn’t the end of year post I wanted to be writing nor how I wanted to be entering 2025 however my path has been redirected and I have no other option than to surrender to what is and have faith that the universe has bigger and better plans for me.

“I recently received cancer diagnosis number 4… some of you will know small snippets of my story, some of you won’t know anything but long story short 8 years ago I was first diagnosed with breast cancer and since then I have experienced 3 separate recurrences. I went public with diagnosis 1 and 2 and diagnosis 3 l chose to keep private.

“What I’m dealing with now, diagnosis number 4, has been an unexpected, monumental shock to all systems.

“My world has flipped, my life path, my time and my energy have all been redirected and my journey to full health and wellness (mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually) has restarted.”

Hannah went on to encourage other people who have cancer to “not give up”.

She also asked fans to “pray” for her.

Hannah continued: “Love your people (and your petsAKA kids with fur), don’t take that s**t for granted either.

“Tomorrow is never promised and that goes for me, you and our loved ones.

“Tell your people you love them. Show them you love them.

“Appreciate them. Be present with them.”

She ended the lengthy post with: “Here’s to healing, relaxing my nervous system and getting into energetic alignment with the highest outcome.”

Hannah’s followers immediately rushed to share their support, with JLS star Marvin Humes writing: “Thinking of you Hannah and sending big love and strength..what a powerful post.”

Her friend, DJ Spoony, said: “I don’t think I’ve ever read a more beautiful and positive post.

“H, I love the energy here.

“Sending hugs, love and all the strength to help you deal with it. You absolute champion.”

While this fan wrote: “Praying for you Hannah. You got this.”

Over the years, Hannah has established herself among the most sought after DJs in the world with a string of successful releases behind her.

The popular star boasts an army of fans who all turn out to hear her play at clubs and festivals across the world from Australia to Ibiza.

In 2019, she launched her own label Etiquette which saw her embark on an intimate club tour of the UK and Ireland.

Speaking at the time about this switch to playing smaller crowds, she told The Sun: “I’ve toured the U.K and Ireland since 2015 and all have been large capacity, big production with even bigger line ups and I just wanted to switch things up.

“Don’t get me wrong playing in front of 1000-2000 people in a club is incredible but there’s nothing quite like DJ’ing close quarters with 200-500 ravers where the DJ booth and crowd feel as one.”
