Much loved radio host Tony Fenton has lost his battle with prostate cancer.
The formerly 2FM star was battling the illness in 2o11Â but sadly passed away this morning.
Back in January Tony spoke to Goss.ie about his joy at finally returning to Today FM after going through treatment.
Sad loss: Tony was looking forward to continuing with Today FM
“I’m looking forward to getting back on radio and that will be in four weeks’ time,” he said at the time.
“I’m chomping at the bit, I really cannot wait. It’ll be just me again, back on as normal.”
Tony previously told Goss.ie that going through chemotherapy was extremely difficult, sometimes leaving him unable to eat.
Tony began his career with mobile disco alongside DJ’s Barry Lang and Ian Dempsey.
In 1978, at the age of 17, Tony got his first big job at pirate station Alternative Radio Dublin (ARD) before joining Sunshine Radio and Radio Nova.
He then moved to RTE 2FM where he presented The Hotline. After 18 years Tony moved to Today FM, where he has hosted his popular show since 2004.
