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.”
