The disc jockey John Peel died of a heart attack in Peru last night, according to the BBC Web site.
Joining BBC Radio 1 when it started in 1967, Peel had been part of the soundtrack to my life for almost as long as I remember.
He was 65, going on 15, and one of my role models, even if I didn’t like a lot of the music he played. I hope I remain relevant as long as he did.
I feel so saddened by the news.
