After 25 Years At Calgary's CJAY, Gerry Forbes Is Calling It A Day

By FYI Staff

Gerry Forbes has been a staple of Calgary radio since the early ‘90s, with his irreverent on-air persona and his involvement in the community. When he turned 60 two years ago it was expected CJAY 92’s morning man would retire, but instead, he re-signed for another two years. Well, the time has come, and on Thursday he announced on air that he was moving on in a month.


On his Facebook page yesterday, Forbes wrote: “Thank you to everyone for the kind words and messages on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and thoughtful words from everyone. It’s been a gift and privilege to have worked at such an amazing station with a team of superstars. I don’t often shed a tear, but they were flowing today.❤️ Stewart Myers and Chad Martin have been amazing as my Generals and for the next month till I hang up the headphones we are playing back the best moments of the last 25 remarkable years. Thanks again everyone for an incredible day.”

Lady Gaga ‘Absolutely Heartbroken’ to Cancel Tonight’s Montreal Concert: ‘I Truly Could Not Feel Worse About Letting You Down’

She had to cancel her third of three Mayhem Ball stops at Bell Centre due to an ongoing respiratory infection.

Lady Gaga took to her social accounts Monday (April 6) to let fans know she had to cancel her third of three nights of her Mayhem Ball tour at Montreal’s Bell Centre that night due to an ongoing respiratory infection.

“I’m so sorry to share that I’m unable to perform tonight and have to cancel the show,” Gaga’s message reads in part. “I’ve been fighting a respiratory infection for the past few days and doing everything I can to rest and recover, but it’s gotten worse. My doctor has strongly advised me not to perform today and to be honest I don’t think I could give you the quality of a performance today that you deserve.”
