Two years ago, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies was given six weeks to live after leukaemia was diagnosed. The former Master of the Queens Musick overcame that bout and went on to work on a 10th symphony and new opera. Now, he tells the Times, the illness has returned and he is back in chemo.

We send Max all good wishes.
