BBC: Legendary radio DJ John Peel dies
BBC Radio One: John Peel passes away
If you have been a fan of any alternative, punk, or modern music artist or band during the last twenty years, you have probably encountered at least one “Peel Session” whilst combing through someone’s discography. He has championed a lot of the music I cannot live without. Godspeed, Mr Peel.
