Ronan Keating Picked His Own Funeral Songs

Ronan Keating says he was so shocked when he discovered a lump, that he planned his own funeral as he was convinced he was going to die.
The Boyzone star found the lump on his testicle when he was on holiday in South Africa and after losing his mother to cancer, was worried he would go the same way.
"It was really scary." Keating tells the Daily Mail. "I thought I definitely had cancer. The lump felt very different and I knew straight away there was something there."
"I had written myself off. I had the songs picked for my funeral and everything."
"I called my GP straight away. He told me it was probably fine but to come and see him when I got back. I worried the whole time. It ruined the holiday."
Keating was given the all-clear once he returned to the UK.
"Because I'm always preaching about checking yourself regularly, I'd be a bit of a hypocrite if I didn't do it myself."
