Very sad :cry:  :cry: . He lived next door to a friend of mine and we used to come across him in the local pub now and again. Always in shorts whatever the weather.

I never met the guy, Steve did briefly at Reading festival '92, he had a special place in our hearts.

Steve did GCSE's to Degree studying listening to his music, and is a real music junky in large part to the man.

I used to listen to him, whislt in dodgy bedsits - his voice made me feel 'safe'.

Our youngest never really slept from being first born - till we started playing the radio in his room, he'd settle with 'uncle peel' then he'd start to drift, we used fall asleep too listening to his show.

Glastonbury will never be the same again :cry:

Heard the sad news myself this evening.  Odd in a way that so many of us sharing one pastime feel the loss of an important figure from another, namely music.

He was just such a cool dude, you couldn't help liking him, So laid back, but at the same time such an enthusiastic contagious passion about music.

Micheal Eviss(sp?) is going to name the 'new band' stand after him, which I think is the perfect tribute  :)

Gob-smacked to read this.

Not too keen on his recent musical tastes, but having 'Teenage Kicks' as an all-time favourite says something about him.

He'll be missed.
