so sad...he really was a pioneer and brought so many talented musicians to the forefront that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. He will be truly missed....
I couldn't tell you how many John Peel Sessions records I had growing up. ( damn garage sale while I was away....)

I heard about this

It's very sad.Never will I listen to 'Teenage Kicks' the same way again...

what a shock - he was quite young. I liked his objectivity & that he was a nonconformist. His voice was so distinctive & northern. I'll miss it on radio & tV. He didn't seem impressed with musicians for the sake of it.

I was always a fan of A Life of Grime.

farewell Mr Peel.

For everything he did to/for music in general and punk in particular: RIP

I can't believe that he is dead it's very very sad, he was only 65 too, and he seemed so much younger to me also.

I'll really miss hearing him on the radio.

Really? That's so sad!
My condolences to his wife and children.

I don't know this guy, but it is always sad when someone dies so may he rest in peace and all my condolances go to his family and friends
