Following a show in Fremantle, Western Australia on the weekend, Danny recorded a video about his cancer diagnosis for fans.
In the video on his Instagram account, Danny from Voyager revealed the diganosis was serious.
"Some of you may know I had some pretty bad news over the last week. [I've] gone from top 10 Eurovision to stage four cancer in a matter of months," Danny said in the video.
Stages of cancer go from zero to four, with four being the worst diagnosis. Despite this, Danny is still positive.
"There are a few reasons why I'm confident that we're going to get through this, despite the fact it's one of the hardest things I'll ever have to do. One is the incredible modern medicine available to us in this modern world," he said.
He also lists his friends and family plus the incredible fan community among band and Eurovision supporters.
Danny begins treatment next week that will last several months and asks fans to continue channeling positive energy with a call to "let's fight this.".
