Shadnor SUBS 20th Aug 2024		From Rapiers Are Go: Standing Ovation for Jet the Soldier Scrubbed from last night's bill at Warners Bembridge Hotel on the Isle of Wight to focus on his treatment for cancer, Jet Harris nevertheless made a mighty, impromptu appearance, reports Nathan J. Hulse. "Even though he wasn't getting paid, he still made the effort to turn up and watch us. He performed Theme for Something Really Important and his No. 1, Diamonds. Just two songs, but the crowd gave him a standing ovation. I think they saw the great effort Jet put in to be there. He clearly wasn't feeling in tip-top condition, but that didn't stop him putting in a sterling performance. "Well done, Jet. He expects to be back on form and the road next year. We look forward to it." From eyewitness Audrey Knapp, commenting on the ShadowMusic forum: "... the audience were thrilled when Colin Pryce-Jones announced that Jet hadn't wanted to let them down, despite being unwell... Jet got up on stage to cheers from the audience... It was a very emotional moment for everyone. Jet's partner, Janet, and I both had tears in our eyes to see Jet back where he belongs. Even though Jet is feeling very weak and still has more chemotherapy to undergo, he played brilliantly and everyone in the audience leapt to their feet to give Jet a much deserved standing ovation. When Jet came back to sit down at our table he, too, was almost in tears. A very special night! What a trooper!"



Shadnor SUBS 19th Jul 2024		In the book "Jet Harris - Inspite of everything" by Dave Nicolson it says as follows: "Undaunted, Jet unveiled plans for his own alternative 50th Anniversary Tour in the autumn with 'special guest Miss Billie Davis'. Unfortunately, it never happened. Shortly after he'd celebrated his 70th birthday in July 2009, it was announced that he was undergoing medical investigations into shoulder pains he'd recently been experiencing. A statement subsequently appeared on Jet's official website that he had been diagnosed with cancer, was receiving chemotheraphy, and had cancelled all appearances until futher notice. Bravely, however, he did turn up at one of the cancelled shows- on 21 November at the Warner Bembridge Coast Hotel, near to his home in Isle Of Wight - and joined The Rapiers on stage for two numbers. Appreciative fans gave him a standing ovation."
