Gulf Daily News » Local News » Ex-Bahrain DJ Roy Silverthorne 'critical' in Spain: "POPULAR Bahrain DJ and long time resident was said to be in a critical condition in Spain, it emerged yesterday.Former Radio Bahrain DJ and Dilmun Club general manager Roy Silverthorne was in a poor condition that stemmed from a recurring kidney ailment, sources told the GDN.
He was also in hospital a few months ago because of the ailment, they added.
The 64-year-old Briton, who is currently based in Marbella, Spain, came to Bahrain in July 1984 and worked at Radio Bahrain from September that year.
He originally worked as an advertising sales manager but the opportunity came about when he did a voice-over for one of the advertising company's clients.
Mr Silverthorne became the breakfast show presenter in 1988 and stayed in the job for the next 10 years, during which he took up his post with the Dilmun Club in 1996.
He broadcast shows until December 2001 and left Bahrain in June the following year after living here with his wife Gillian for 18 years.
The couple have a married daughter, Lisa, who runs a floating barge restaurant in Stratford-upon-Avon, England."

Just a message of concern regarding your health Roy. You were always in top form and I was in contact with you several times many years ago in Bahrain if you recall. Was just browsing around and sadly came upon this. I trust all has gone well since that date and all my best wishes to you and your family. Kind regards, Colin Storey
