You can pre-order the music soundtrack, which will be available the day after the documentary is released.

The documentary is arriving as Farnham faces a health battle. He was recently re-admitted to hospital with a respiratory infection just seven months after surgery to remove mouth cancer.

“John continues his recovery following last year’s successful surgery. He’s always been a strong and determined person with everything he’s ever done, and we are all so very proud of him,” wife Jill Farnham said.

Fans can leave messages of support for Farnham on the We Love You, John website.
