Robyn’s Emotional Return to 973

Robin Bailey returned to work this morning at Brisbane’s 973 with Bob & Terry.

It has been five weeks since Robyn and her boys tragically lost their husband and father, Tony Scott, who took his own life.

This morning Robyn shared her thoughts, her feelings and thanked her friends, family and her Brisbane listeners for their support.

973 have posted her from the heart video this morning as she was welcomed back into the studio. Be prepared to shed a tear.

You can view the video below.

“But I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you Brisbane. For anyone who said a prayer for us or lit a candle; who sent a Facebook message or email – from cards to flowers, my god we felt it all.”

"Believe me, there were times in the numerous sleepless nights I've had when these messages kept me going. My boys and I really felt the love of so many of you and at times it held us aloft. I can honestly say I felt your arms around us and it got us through."

"Despite tony taking his own life after struggling with depression, I do not want to become the poster girl for either. You know me, I will never shy away from talking about these topics, but suicide was his decision and I refuse to let it scar my children or I for the rest of our lives."

"This 97.3fm Brekkie show has been built on fun and entertaining content – and let me promise you, that is exactly what I want to do. Please keep sharing your stories with us and let's laugh and have fun, entertain and learn stuff, as I am desperate for a bit of light entertainment.”

In honour of Tony, a special fund administered through the Future State Greats Aspirations4Kids program has been created. Tony loved kids and he loved sport. He always wanted every kid to be able to realise their sporting potential, regardless of their personal circumstances. The Future State Greats Aspirations4Kids program has been set up to provide kids with these opportunities – any kid, any sport. You can donate via direct transfer to this account:
