Pop Star Meets Birth Father After 50-Year Search

Peter Cunnah, known for the 1990s hit 'Things Can Only Get Better', recently located his biological father, Patrick Hanna, after a five-decade search. Born in a Belfast mother-and-baby home, Cunnah had been adopted by Les and Monica Cunnah but knew from a young age about his adoption. In the 1990s, while enjoying success with D:Ream, he discovered his birth mother, Ann McCrea, and siblings. His search for his father was prolonged, as the name he initially had was a stage name. Thanks to his sister-in-law's detective work, Cunnah finally contacted Hanna after verifying the relationship with a DNA test. Cunnah described the emotional meeting as a surreal experience, enhancing his sense of identity.
