DJ and presenter Trevor Nelson is taking a break from work due to health issues.

Nelson explained: “I wanted to let my followers, radio listeners and all my Soul Nation party-people know that I’m taking a little break from my work commitments.

“Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been on my Radio 2 slot every day this week.”

He continued, “After the usual examination, I was advised to do some follow-up examinations. As a result, I will take more time. I am sure that you can appreciate in health matters, it is important to deal with the facts and not to guess.

“So I’m focusing on getting better, getting back to 100% and getting back behind the mic and the decks.”

Earlier this week, Nelson received a special award at the Television and Radio Industries Circle (TRIC) Awards in recognition of his work in radio and television broadcasting.
