2GB radio host Alan Jones has been rushed to hospital and will be off the air “indefinitely”, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The 77-year-old radio icon missed his morning breakfast slot on Sydney’s 2GB on both Monday and Tuesday after seeking treatment for “severe back pain”, the publication reported.
Fellow 2GB host Ben Fordham said the station “needed Jones back on air”.
“Alan has more backbone than anyone I know so I am sure he is going to make a full recovery,” Fordham said
Macquarie Radio CEO Adam Lang said, “Unfortunately, Alan Jones is unwell at the moment and receiving care in a hospital. We hope that Alan is as comfortable as possible and that he has a swift recovery.”
Jones had surgery on his back in November 2016 and has undergone several neck operations.
