Veteran radio disc jockey John Peel has died of a heart attack whilst on a working holiday in the ancient Inca city of Cuzco with his wife Sheila.

He was 65.

I had the pleasure of meeting him in Hartlepool a few years back and was a very relaxed man with a real feel for music - I bought him a pint

Funnily enough - everybody in the Music Industry I ever talked to who had also met him - had also bought him a pint

John Peel - 30th August 1939 - 26th October 2004

Whoah! Didn't know! Liked your cool story though. Kinda adds to the warmth people feel about him. But he has a terribly boring voice though. Helps loads of bands over the years.
