BBC Radio 2 presenter Tony Blackburn has announced he’ll return to the radio this weekend after being off-air for a month.
In a video via Twitter, Tony said he delighted to get back on-air and thanked everyone who’d sent goodwill messages.
Tony has been absent from BBC Radio 2 since mid-April when an infection he thought had cleared, returned.
He’s been keeping his Twitter followers up to date with his recovery and has received thousands of messages wishing him well.
Last Tuesday, at the ARIAs, Tony was honoured with the Pioneer Award for his broadcasting and contribution to the popularity of soul music in the UK.
You can hear Tony Saturday from 6am for Sounds of the 60s and Sunday from 7pm for the Golden Hour.
At last I’m going to be back with you @BBCRadio2 this Saturday for Sounds of the Sixties “Live “. pic.twitter.com/TLspPgJjg2
