    John Peel OBE, legendary Radio 1 and Radio 4 presenter, has died suddenly on holiday in Peru.

    It has been confirmed that John died from a heart attack last night - he leaves behind his wife Sheila and four children.

    Radio 1 Controller Andy Parfitt said:

    "John Peel was a broadcasting legend. I am deeply saddened by his death as are all who work at Radio 1."

    "John's influence has towered over the development of popular music for nearly four decades and his contribution to modern music and music culture is immeasurable."

    "Hopeful bands all over the world sent their demo tapes to John knowing that he really cared. His commitment and passion for new music only grew stronger over the years."

    "In fact, when I last saw him he was engaged in a lively debate with his fellow DJs over the state of new music today. He will be hugely missed."

    A DJ who never really took any notice of genres & just played tunes he thought were good or full of energy.
