Victoria radio host Dylan Willows, who is battling cancer, announced Thursday that he has left The Zone, after nearly two decades with the modern rock station.
Willows, 44, bid farewell to listeners on-air, and said during the emotional broadcast that he will continue his fight with Stage 4 cancer away from the station.
Willows has been diagnosed with uveal melanoma, a rare form of ocular cancer, the same cancer he battled nearly 20 years ago but which returned last year.
“Not without a lack of trying and hard effort from myself and my family, and the incredible team at BC Cancer, the treatment doesn’t seem to be working the way we need it to be working,” Willows told listeners Thursday morning.
“I’m now facing very limited time and, unfortunately, that time can’t be spent here at the radio station anymore.”
After announcing he had cancer during The Zone’s Dec. 1 broadcast, the Claremont Secondary grad took a leave of absence from the morning show he has co-hosted with Jason Lamb for 16 years.

Popular radio personality Dylan Willows is being celebrated by family, friends and listeners with a two-night concert at the Royal Theatre.
As a host of 91-3’s The Morning Zone for close to two decades, Willows also led The Zone’s Band of the Month program advocating for countless Victoria acts. Some of them have united for the special event.
“It’s an absolute honour to be opening up tonight. All musicians playing tonight owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dylan; we love him,” said musician Mike Hann.
The Dylan Willows Celebration fundraising concert is a way for everyone he touched both on and off-air to say thank you for two decades of service and commitment to the community.
“Dylan’s done so much for our music community, and we just wanted to put something together to do a little bit to give back to him,” said Morgan Brooker of Blue Heron, the event organizer.

That crowd sure does not look exactly like what today's Zone listeners do.
