Joe Biden has been photographed for the first time since his son Hunter revealed that the former US president's cancer has spread and become "painful and debilitating," with the images showing him looking notably frail. The sighting has fuelled renewed public concern about the 83-year-old's health, following years of scrutiny over his physical and mental fitness during and after his presidency.

Hunter Biden disclosed that his father's cancer, first announced last year, has now spread into his bones, describing the condition as increasingly difficult to manage. The Daily Mail report focuses on Biden's frail appearance in the newly captured photographs, though it offers few further clinical details beyond the family's characterisation of the illness as worsening.
