Lorna Luxe has announced the death of her husband, John Andrews, 64, following his devastating terminal cancer diagnosis. John had been battling stage four adrenal cancer, after the disease returned in 2024.
In a heartbreaking statement shared on Instagram, Lorna, 43, said: “My beautiful, brave John died yesterday. I am heartbroken. We were together to the very end, at home, in our own bed and holding hands which is exactly what he wanted.
She went on to add: “The last conversation we had I asked him how he was feeling and he replied ‘rough but in love’ and that was so him, to the point and choosing to put aside his fears to make me feel cherished and loved.

“John and I were so grateful to the district nurses who came daily to support us and make him comfortable. Anna was his favourite nurse and the kindness she showed him was beyond, she was a real life angel. We couldn’t have had those last few days together at home without that care and my mum who has been with us keeping me strong when I needed to stay strong for John. John you are a class act and I will love you forever.”

The influencer previously revealed that treatment was no longer an option after the stage four adrenal cancer, which John had been diagnosed with in April 2023, had spread. After undergoing treatment, the former banker entered remission – but the cancer returned in 2024 and had spread to the brain.
John went on to undergo surgery and “defied the odds” – with the couple declaring they were holding on to hope as he continued to battle the disease.

In a previous social media post, Lorna explained that both she and John had been encouraged by the outpouring of love they have received from friends and strangers alike. But in a heartbreaking admission, Lorna admitted she did not know how much time she has left with her husband.
Taking to Instagram Stories on Saturday, February 7, the influencer shared an image of a bed alongside a heartbreaking update. She wrote: “I want you to know how grateful me and John are for all the kind messages, I’ve not been on top of my replies but I see and read your words to him daily and they’re so full of love – it’s just what we need right now.”
She added: “We don’t know how long we have but we’re holding each other tight.”
