The Daily Telegraph reports
Devastated Peter Andre has jetted back to Australia to hold a bedside vigil for his elder brother, who has been struck down by cancer.
The singer, 38, dropped everything and jumped on the next plane to Australia after learning the horrific news that Andrew Andre, 52, had stomach cancer.
Leaving his two kids with mum Katie Price - aka Jordan - Peter went straight to hospital to see his seriously ill brother after he had landed in Australia.
"Pete has been knocked for six by this," a friend told The Sun in the UK.
"He found out last week that Andrew was ill with cancer and that it was actually really serious.
"He was in Africa but once he got back to England he flew straight out to Oz to be with his family.
"He's left the kids with Katie and has told them that he'll hopefully be back next week.
"His other brother, Michael, has gone out there too. It's a real nightmare for everyone. Pete is so upset and worried for Andrew."
Last night Pete said: "At the moment I'm not sure when I'll be back as I want to stay here for as long as Andrew needs me."
The friend added that Andrew will undergo several life-saving operations this week to try to remove the cancer.
He added: "Andrew is seriously ill and while the doctors have acted quickly by locating the cancer and making plans to operate, nothing is being taken for granted. It's a very tense time indeed."
Andrew lives with his wife Magda on the Gold Coast.
