Former Formula 1 team boss and beloved TV presenter Eddie Jordan has revealed his battle with bladder and prostate cancer, which has aggressively spread to his spine and pelvis. The Irish motorsport icon shared his diagnosis on the Formula For Success podcast, urging listeners to take charge of their health and get tested early.


“A Tough Diagnosis”

Jordan, who led the Jordan F1 team from 1991 to 2005 and managed legends like Michael Schumacher, described his ordeal:

“In March and April, I was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer, and then it spread into the spine and the pelvis, so it was quite aggressive,” he said.

“A Message of Awareness and Hope”

Drawing inspiration from Olympic cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy, who has terminal prostate cancer, Jordan emphasized the importance of early detection.

“This is a little message: Don’t waste or put it off. Go and get tested,” he urged. “In life, you’ve got chances. There’s so much medical advice out there and so many things you can do to extend your lifetime.”

Jordan’s heartfelt plea encouraged fans to overcome fear and embarrassment: “Don’t be stupid. Don’t be shy. It’s not a shy thing. Look after your body, guys.”


“Public Return Amid Reduced Media Presence”

Despite stepping back from the spotlight, Jordan made a rare public appearance earlier this year at Aston Martin’s event unveiling Adrian Newey, whom Jordan also manages. Sitting quietly at the back, his presence was a reminder of his enduring connection to the sport and its stars.


“Reflections on a Difficult Journey”

Acknowledging the toll of his illness, Jordan said: “Some very dark days in there, but we pulled out of it, thankfully.”

The Irishman’s candid revelations highlight the emotional and physical challenges of his diagnosis while serving as a powerful call to action for others to prioritize their health.


“A Legacy of Inspiration”

Jordan’s contribution to Formula 1 and his resilience in facing personal adversity continue to inspire fans and colleagues alike. As he battles his illness, his message of hope and proactive care serves as a rallying cry for the motorsport community to focus on well-being.
