In a video shared on Instagram on Thursday, he explained that the outpouring of love and "positive vibes" from thousands of supporters encouraged him to disclose the personal health battle.
"I was minding my own business and then it was discovered that I had a brain tumour," Nelson recounted, expressing his shock and admitting the news "turned his world upside-down." He acknowledged that his "head was quite literally all over the place" but stressed the necessity of taking a break from his demanding radio schedule.
While Nelson opted not to delve into every detail of his experience just yet, he hinted at the possibility of a "deep dive" into the "whole crazy story" at a later date. Fans and colleagues alike have been sending their support to the beloved broadcaster as he continues his recovery. His revelation highlights the importance of health awareness and the strength required to face such challenges publicly.
