Big news for fans of talkSPORT! Iconic presenter Alan Brazil has shared a heartfelt update about his health, revealing he was “nearly gone” before a life-saving operation turned things around. Alan, 66, took to Instagram to express gratitude for the NHS and the Cambridge medical team that saved his life. He’s on the mend and says, “I’m a lucky boy.”
The beloved broadcaster, known for his lively breakfast show, has been noticeably absent lately, sparking concern among his devoted listeners. Alan missed out on covering the Cheltenham Festival this year, adding to the worry.
In his candid video, Alan looks noticeably slimmer but is upbeat about his recovery. He’s eager to return to the airwaves, promising fans, “I’m missing radio, I will be back. It won’t be long now, a few weeks, Brazil is back!”
The support has been pouring in, with messages from colleagues and fellow footballers. Jamie O’Hara called Alan a “big legend,” while Gabby Agbonlahor simply wrote, “Miss you Al.” Ally McCoist, ever the joker, commented, “Looking no bad big fella.”
Alan’s absence had fans speculating about his condition, especially after he missed time on air earlier in the year due to a severe ear infection. But he’s taken it all in stride and is eager to get back to what he loves. Thanks to incredible medical care and a positive attitude, it seems Alan will be ready to bring his legendary voice back to the mic soon. Stay tuned!
