Tony Blackburn has been discharged from hospital after three weeks following a chest infection. The veteran DJ, 80, has been absent from his BBC Radio 2 programme while receiving treatment at Wellington Hospital, London.
On Twitter, he thanked the doctors and nurses who looked after him but added that he would need outpatient care including regular injections. He said: “After three weeks in hospital I have just been discharged and am now at home to have some more treatment by having a daily injection for a few days from a hospital near me.
“Thanks to everyone at the Wellington Hospital in London doctors and nurses, for looking after me. After my treatment and a rest I look forward to getting back @BBCRadio2 and @BBCLOCALRADIO to doing what I love doing. Just want to thank all my friends for your lovely messages, you are all so kind to think about me.”
