Yeah, just heard it in the caff. Was quite shocked. Seems so premature. Let that be a lesson to ya... look after ur hearts. Haven't listend to him since i was 15/16, but was so influential to me in my formative years. Now whose gonna do all the voiceovers for all the ads?
Serious, sad loss. I say we all play Teenage Kicks in his memory. Unfit - serve that tune up for us.

in a time when everything seems to get over sentimentalised, this is truely sad. I can't imagine any other individual having such an influence on music in the uk over the last 40 years as him.
I remember my brother introducing me to his show when I was still trying to tape the top 40 off of the radio. I couldn't believe it... he didn't talk over the music and he played the whole track.
Top man, will be so missed by so many.

RIP John. You'll Never Walk Alone.
He sums up what is great about Britain for me.
