Influencer Lorna Luxe Announces Husband John Andrews' Death After Cancer Battle
Social media influencer Lorna Luxe has announced the heartbreaking death of her husband, John Andrews, following a prolonged and public battle with cancer. The 43-year-old influencer, who boasts over 1.3 million followers on Instagram, shared the news on Thursday, revealing that John passed away on Wednesday at the age of 64. The couple had been married for 16 years, with John also serving as the co-founder of Lorna's company, LA Space.
Final Days Spent at Home with Nurse Support
In a series of emotional posts, Lorna Luxe detailed how she and John spent his final days together at their home, supported by district nurses who provided daily care to ensure his comfort. She expressed immense gratitude for the medical team, particularly highlighting a nurse named Anna, whom she described as a "real life angel" for the kindness shown to John during this difficult period.
Lorna admitted she had no idea how much time they had left together, stating in a recent message to followers: "We don't know how long we have but we're holding each other tight." This uncertainty led her to cancel a charity event in Manchester, apologising to supporters but emphasising that she "couldn't be away" from John's side as his health declined.
John Andrews' Cancer Journey and Health Struggles
John Andrews was initially diagnosed with stage four adrenal cancer in April 2023, achieving remission by November of that year. However, the cancer returned in May 2024, having spread to his brain. Before Christmas, he was hospitalised due to organ failure linked to chemotherapy complications and a bout of sepsis, with doctors advising Lorna to "prepare for the worst."
Despite the grim prognosis, Lorna held onto hope that John would recover and return home for the festive season. In an interview with Fabulous Magazine, she reflected on the emotional toll, saying: "It's been quite scary because we don't know how long we've got... We know we're on a timeline." She also mentioned that they had to organise their financial plans but avoided discussing funeral arrangements during that time.

Lorna Luxe has been open with her followers throughout John's illness, sharing updates and thanking them for their kind messages. She noted that reading these supportive words provided much-needed comfort for both her and John. The announcement of his death has sparked an outpouring of condolences from fans and the online community.
