Trevor Nelson has revealed he is battling health issues, as he announced a break from his Radio 2 show. The broadcaster and DJ, 62, says he is taking a break from work commitments after some follow-up tests.<\/p>\n
He did not disclose his specific health issues, but said he was taking time to concentrate on getting better and “being back to 100%”.<\/p>\n
He wrote on Instagram: “I wanted to let my followers, radio listeners and all my Soul Nation party-people know that I’m going to be taking a little break from my work commitments. Some of you may already have noticed that I’ve not been on my daily Radio 2 slot this week. After a routine check-up I was advised to have some follow up tests. As a result, I will be taking some further time off.”<\/p>\n

He added: “As I’m sure you can appreciate with health issues it’s important to deal with facts and not speculate. So I’m concentrating on getting better, being back to 100% me and to getting back behind the mic and the decks. Trevor.”<\/p>\n
Trevor presents on Radio 2 every weekday between 2 and 4pm, and BBC Radio 1Xtra each Sunday, 11am to 1pm.<\/p>\n
The BBC’s director of music, Lorna Clarke said: “Everyone at BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 1Xtra wishes Trevor a very speedy recovery and we all look forward to him returning to his shows whenever he is ready.”<\/p>\n
Vernon Kay also paid tribute to Trevor on his show just after 10am. He told his listeners: “Everyone at BBC Radio 2, including the mid-morning show are sending Trevor all the very very best wishes, we absolutely love him to bits.<\/p>\n
“He’s a stalwart broadcaster within the UK – I played golf with him a couple of weeks ago and he was in a buoyant mood. And I know that this challenge is something that Trevor is gonna face head on. So Trevor we are sending you all our love and hopefully see you on the Links [golf course] very soon my friend.”<\/p>\n
Just this week, Trevor received a special award at the annual TRIC Awards ceremony, celebrating his lengthy career in the radio and television industries. He has had an impressive three decade career with the BBC, which all began when he moved from KISS FM to Radio 1 in 1996, presenting the UK’s first national R&B show.<\/p>\n
He later went on to launch the first ever national R&B chart show before also working on BBC Radio 1Xtra from 2007 onwards. He stayed at Radio 1 too until 2013 before also taking on a Radio 2 show in 2008, a weekly soul music offering.<\/p>\n
In January 2019, Trevor Nelson’s Rhythm Nation launched on Radio 2 and aired four days a week, before – in early 2025 – he moved to the weekday afternoon show replacing Scott Mills.<\/p>\n
Speaking recently about his legacy, he said: “I love going to work, I bounce around the eighth floor like a child. You’d never think I was a senior in that environment. I’m actually the oldest on daytime. So, I’m the daddy!”<\/p>\n
Listeners can hear him present The Music is Black concert from Hackney Empire on Sunday night on BBC Radio 2, which was pre recorded last month. It is a unique celebration of Black Music in Britain featuring performances from Alison Limerick, Courtney Pine and Omar amongst others. He co-presents the show with fellow Radio 2 DJ, DJ Spoony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
