The 80-year-old was replaced by Johnnie Walker
Radio legend Tony Blackburn pulled out of his BBC show and has cancelled live gigs due to a health issue. The veteran presenter was replaced on his Saturday morning Radio 2 show by Johnnie Walker and revealed he'd been advised to rest by his doctor.
Blackburn, 80, who was the first winner of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2002, said he had been struggling with a chest infection, the Mirror reports. He wrote on Twitter: "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 Dr 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."Followers took to the comment section to wish him a speedy recovery. One user commented: "Your health comes first. Took me ages to finally realise this and take time off.
"Wishing you well. You've brought joy to so many throughout a fantastic career. Take care," another said. One fan posted: "Sending you Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. Take It easy and rest. The doctor knows best." A few hours later, he returned to Twitter to thank fans for their support and said he will 'recover properly'.
