BBC Radio 2 presenter Trevor Nelson, 62, says he has been diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent “very serious” surgery about a month ago. He has stepped back from his BBC Radio 2 role after taking time off for health issues earlier this year, and he now says he plans to return to the station when able.
Nelson describes the news as a major personal shock, saying his “world was turned upside down.” BBC News reports he says the surgery has “gone well,” while other outlets describe the operation in similar terms but do not add further medical detail. The articles also note that he thanks listeners and fans for their support during his recovery. The coverage focuses on his health disclosure and recovery progress, with no agreed specifics beyond the diagnosis, surgery timeframe, and that he took an extended break from broadcasting.
