Martin Kemp, 62, reveals what kind of funeral he would want but implores his ... trends now

Martin Kemp has revealed what kind of funeral he would want - after predicting he has 10 years left to live.

The Spandau Ballet bassist, 62, was diagnosed with two brain tumours in the '90s and had to undergo radiotherapy and surgery to have them removed. 

And he recently told his son Roman, 31, diagnoses left him 'resigned to the fact that I was going to die'.

Speaking on the first episode of his and Roman's podcast FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp, aptly titled Death, Martin and Roman got candid about the subject.

At one point, Roman asked Martin how much longer he thinks he'll be alive. Martin replies: 'I'll be really honest with you, 10 years.'

And elsewhere in the podcast episode the father-son duo discussed what kind of funeral Martin would want.

He told how he would want the ceremony to be in a church, with 80s singers playing tunes as people arrived.

Martin added that he would want 20-30 people in attendance - including his wife  Shirlie Holliman - and would like a montage of the best moments of his life playing as part of the service.

However he made one thing very clear to Roman - that he didn't want the occasion to be sad.

He explained: 'But don't make it sad, don't go anywhere near sadness, make it funny, tell jokes, sad is the last thing I would ever want'.

On the episode Martin told his son Roman that his previous brain tumour diagnoses left him 'resigned to the fact that I was going to die'.

While the benign growths were successfully removed and have not reoccurred, Martin continued to battle epilepsy as a side effect.

Martin explained: 'I don't know how long I've got left but I will tell you, since I was the age of 34, when I went through all of that brain tumour scare, I spent two years of my life thinking I was going to die. 

'And I think, after that, everything else, every day, every year, every month that I've lived, every experience that I've had has been a bonus.
