Broadcasting legend Bob Harris has announced he is leaving BBC Radio 2, weeks after revealing his prostate cancer has spread to his spine.

The DJ, who has been on the airwaves since 1970, told listeners he was "so sorry that my health issues are forcing me to step down, but I realised that I must concentrate now on getting myself well again".

Bob & Suzi will be featuring in “Celebrity Antiques Road Trip” to be broadcast on 26th march 2025.

Whispering Bob once again co-hosted this year’s O2 event - this time with Texan country music artist, Mickey Guyton.

Bob was delighted this morning to discuss the forthcoming series of events on Radio 2’s celebration of Country Music in lieu of the postponed C2C: Country to Country festival.

Hosted by Bob Harris, this live studio show features music, special guests and rare archive to mark 30 years since the legendary series was last broadcast. Featuring performances from Peter Frampton, Richard Thompson, and Albert Lee among others.
