Heartbroken Peter Andre was being comforted last night after his brother died from cancer.

Andrew Andre, 54, passed away in the early hours of Sunday with Peter and the rest of his family at his bedside.

A spokeswoman said: “Peter is devastated. He was very, very close to his brother.

“This is the very first family member Peter has experienced losing. He just needs time to grieve.”

Andrew, who was diagnosed with kidney cancer in February, was understood to have been responding well to treatment before his situation worsened last month.

His parents flew to the UK from their home in Australia last week to be at his bedside with his wife and daughter, as well as singer Peter.

A family friend said: “Everyone was with him when he passed away.

"They all did everything they could for Andrew and there wasn’t one waking minute when he wasn’t with somebody.”

Andrew and Peter's brother Chris confirmed the news last night o n Facebook.

He wrote: "Love you my brother. Never to be forgotten, i'll see you when i get up there someday. Until then rest in peace and enjoy the tranquility."

Early this morning, another brother Michael posted a message on Twitter.

 

Peter, 39, was preparing for a show in Cardiff as part of his Up Close And Personal tour earlier this month when he was told Andrew had taken a turn for the worse.

He immediately cancelled his remaining tour dates this month so he could be with his brother.

He even moved Andrew into his Surrey home so he could receive specialised treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, West London.

Peter spent every moment possible at the hospital with his brother’s wife Magda and the couple’s daughter.

A spokeswoman said it was “too soon” for the star to make any decisions about further scheduled dates on his tour.

Andrew frequently appeared in various reality TV shows alongside Peter and offered emotional support when his marriage to glamour model Katie Price broke down in May, 2009.

Peter previously described his reaction on being told of his brother’s illness, saying: “I was horrified, so shocked, and I broke down.

"T he tears were just rolling down my face and I’ve cried every day since.”
