Radio 1's controller said, "John's influence has towered over the development of popular music for nearly four decades."
I grew up with him and remember making mix tapes from his shows on Radio 1 as a teen. Now I listen to him on Radio 4. Older friends of mine remember him on pirate radio in the sixties. His influence spanned the generations.
A truly sad day.
