I literally am so shocked.......



He truly was a legend. British radio will not be the same without him. In fact, music won't be the same without him

I'm still feeling funny after reading this news

RIP, John

I know. I couldn't believe it was the news headlines.

I listened to his shows quite a bit.

It's very sad. I'll miss him.

If it wasn't for John Peel, we certainly wouldn't have had the Smiths, Pulp or New Order

and apparantly he had a hand in the success of David Bowie as well
