Veteran broadcaster Paul Gambaccini, 77, has bravely revealed his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in early 2025, yet he’s determined to keep hosting his beloved music shows on BBC Radio 2 and Greatest Hits Radio.

Supported by the Alzheimer’s Society and his husband, Gambaccini’s openness joins a growing wave of public figures — including Jon Snow and Danny Glover — sharing their journeys to combat stigma and inspire hope. He’s asking for space to keep sharing the music he loves, proving that joy and purpose can still thrive.
