It's April 23rd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is entertainment in celebrity news today, your AI-powered entertainment report. Bob Harris, the veteran BBC Radio 2 DJ who's hosted the country show since 1999, just shared some tough health news. His prostate cancer has spread to his upper spine, but he's now on the road to getting better. Over the last few weeks, back pain sent him to the hospital for scans. Harris confirmed the spread, and he jumps straight into a two-week course of radio therapy to get things under control. He's home now, starting rehab and feeling stronger each day. His family has been his rock through this rough patch, and Radio 2 has supported him every step. Colleagues like Darius Rucker and Sean Kevany are covering his shows, including Sounds of the 70s. The station marked his 80th birthday with a special chat alongside Zoe Ball. With over 50 years on the air, from Radio 1 to the old grey whistle test, Harris can't wait to spin those country tunes again. Come May.

Fans are rooting for his quick comeback.
