Well, what terrible news.
John Peel will be remembered as a man who made an indelible mark on British music, bringing the nation such great bands as The Undertones and The Smiths.
For me and many others he simply is BBC Radio, the voice and champion of new music for generations.
We all know that the BBC likes to cultivate it's image as a benevolent institution, working for the best interests and the betterment of the nation. Part of what allows that idea to hold water has died today and we are all the poorer for that.
He will be sadly missed by music fans the world over and not least by me.
