Tracey Emin has announced that her bladder cancer is gone, following a series of successful major surgeries. Speaking on BBC Newsnight, Emin said that she had recently passed a “big milestone”, as her three-month scans revealed no presence of the cancer which threatened her life last year.

In October 2021, the artist made her diagnosis public, saying that she had already undergone treatment and that the disease was then in remission. “I’m not painting because I’m using my willpower to stay alive.

That’s what I’m doing,” Emin explained to the BBC. “I never realised how much I wanted to live until I thought I was going to die. ”Emin added that she planned to return to painting in the future.
