The legendary UK radio DJ, John Peel today died while on holiday in Peru, at the age of 65. He had been a radio DJ since the start of BBC Radio 1 in 1967(?), and from then on became the champion of leftfield and underground music. He was one of the most respected and loved celebrities in Britain, just because of his honesty, charisma, friendliness and love of music.
He will be missed.
