Radio and television broadcaster Paul Gambaccini says he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Multiple reports describe the diagnosis as coming after an earlier period of disclosure, with several outlets noting he is 77. In a statement, Gambaccini says he plans to keep presenting his radio programmes and expresses a determination to continue working for as long as he can. Sources also identify him as a long-running BBC Radio 2 presenter, as well as a presenter on Greatest Hits Radio. One outlet reports the diagnosis was made early last year, while others focus on the public confirmation of the condition and his intention to remain on air. Gambaccini is described as a long-time broadcaster, including decades of work with BBC Radio dating back to the 1970s. Across the coverage, the emphasis is on his confirmation of the diagnosis and his stated commitment to continuing his broadcasting schedule as his condition progresses, rather than on any medical details beyond the Alzheimer’s diagnosis itself.
