anyone see andy kershaws interview on ch4 news last night??
is he still with radio1? if so, he was definitely putting his job on the line by sticking up for a close friend and fellow dj.
he said the last time he saw peel was a month or so ago - he met him for coffee. he told john he didnt look too well and john blamed it on the later night slot that the bbc had moved him to and he claimed that it'd end up killing him.
quite a statement to come out with !!
