The British singer, 32, a member of The Wanted, announced in October that he was diagnosed with a grade four brain tumor and said he was “in treatment”.
Good news came to the singer on Thursday, when he spoke to a medical professional after undergoing an MRI earlier this week.
To share an update, the star posted a photo of him smiling with his wife and children.
