SINGER DANIEL O’DONNELL has asked the public for their prayers after confirming that his wife, Majella, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I know that many of you would like to send your good wishes to Majella but at this time we cannot deal with a lot of mail so we would ask you not to send cards or letters, all we need are your prayers to help us through this difficult time and we know we can rely on that.”
