Phil Valentine, the Nashville-based radio talk show host known for his skepticism of Covid-19 vaccines, has died following a battle with the virus. He was 61.
His station, SuperTalk 99.7 Wtn, confirmed the news in a statement posted to Twitter on Saturday afternoon. “We are saddened to report that our host and friend Phil Valentine has passed away,” a spokesperson wrote. “Please keep the Valentine family in your thoughts and prayers.”
Valentine first announced that he’d contracted Covid in a Facebook post published on July 11. “Yes, the rumors are true. I have Covid. Unfortunately for the haters out there, it looks like I’m going to make it,” he wrote. “Interesting experience. I’ll have to fill you in when I come back on the air. I’m hoping that will be tomorrow, but I may take a day off just as a precaution. It’ll be a game time decision.
