Summary
- Singer Peter Cunnah reunited with his biological father.
- Cunnah discovered his father was also a musician.
- His half-sister is a global Christian music star.
Peter Cunnah, the voice behind D:Ream's 1990s hit 'Things Can Only Get Better,' has finally met his biological father after a lifelong search spanning over five decades. This emotional journey concluded with a tearful reunion in Barnsley, Yorkshire, where Cunnah connected with his birth father, Patrick Hanna.
Hanna, it turns out, was also a touring musician, a discovery that sheds light on Cunnah's own musical talents. Further family revelations include Cunnah's half-sister, Philippa Hanna, who has achieved global success as a prominent artist in the Christian music scene.
Cunnah was adopted in Belfast in 1966 and learned of his adoption at a young age. His search for his birth parents led him to his birth mother, Ann McCrea, years earlier, from whom he learned his father's name. After a lengthy investigation and a DNA test, Cunnah confirmed his paternal connection, completing his personal history.
