Tony Blackburn cancels radio show and live appearances amid health concerns

DJ Tony Blackburn, 79, has had to cancel radio shows today and forthcoming live appearances because of bad health. The DJ tweeted: “Hello folks. Just to let you all know, I've had a little recurrence of the chest infection I had a few weeks ago.

“My doctor has told me off for not taking some time to recover properly so I am having a break from the radio this weekend. And, sadly, I have had to postpone the Sounds of the 60s shows at Swindon and Redhill next week too.

“New dates are already in the diary though and I really do hope to be back with you soon."

Tony’s concerned fans took to the comments to send messages of support. Singer Sheila Ferguson wrote: “Your health comes first. Took me ages to finally realise this and take time off. Please let your body heal.”
