After several months of absence on Radio Classique, Guillaume Durand announced his return to September on Twitter. He also revealed what health issues had kept him off the airwaves.
It has now been seven months since Guillaume Durand was no longer in charge of Radio Classique’s morning show. A few days after leaving the airwaves last May, the 69-year-old journalist explained on Twitter why listeners no longer heard him. “Life sometimes reserves, in the field of health, stray bullets from which we recover with rest. No drama. I come back soon”, he wrote then, without giving more information on what he was going through.
During these few months, Dimitri Pavlenko had taken over. Now Guillaume Durand seems ready to return. It is also on Twitter, on Christmas Eve, that the former host of France 2 announced his return to Radio Classique. He reveals that he will resume the antenna from the next school year. “The morning remains for young people “, however, he comments on the social network.
“A hell of an operated cancer”
On this same publication, Guillaume Durand also reveals the reasons for his prolonged absence. “Thanks science / medicine. First jogging after a hell of cancer operated for ten hours on June 25. Then chemo and radio followed by a good Covid. “ Before concluding, on a more positive note: “Take fear by the hand and live. Be careful at Christmas. “
As a reminder, before Radio Classique, Guillaume Durand also went through various television channels. After having presented, among others, the 8 pm newspaper of La Cinq, he notably joined TF1, then Canal + and France 2. On the air, listeners were also able to listen to him on Europe 1 for several years.
