 Rugby icon Scott Hastings passes after cancer battle, family shares emotional message


Scottish rugby is mourning the loss of Scott Hastings, who passed away at 61 after a long battle with cancer.


Hastings, widely recognised as one of Scotland’s most respected rugby players, had reportedly been receiving treatment for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer affecting white blood cells. 


According to a statement released by his family, complications connected to treatment caused his condition to worsen quickly.


His children, Corey and Kerry-Anne Hastings, confirmed that he passed peacefully on the morning of May 17 while surrounded by family members.


In an emotional message shared through Scottish Rugby, the family reflected on the timing of his passing, noting that the day also marked the birthday of his late wife, Jenny, a detail they described as deeply meaningful.


The statement praised medical staff who cared for Hastings during his final days, thanking the intensive care team at the hospital for their efforts and asking for privacy as the family processes the loss.


The former Scotland centre had already experienced enormous personal heartbreak in recent years following the loss of his wife, Jenny, in 2024 after a long struggle with mental health challenges. Hastings had previously spoken openly and compassionately about the difficulties she faced over many years, describing both her warmth and the challenges their family endured.


Friends and supporters often saw Hastings speak with honesty about grief, love and resilience after her passing, while continuing to lean on memories built across their decades together.


On the field, Hastings built an outstanding legacy in Scottish rugby. He became Scotland’s most-capped male centre and played a key role in the nation’s famous Grand Slam-winning side in 1990, sharing that historic achievement with his brother, Gavin Hastings.
