We all probably thought he would have gone on forever.
In 1988, i was fortunate enough to interview him for a fanzine in the bowels of Radio 1. I still consider it to be one of the highlights of my life. Even with his undoubted knowledge and influence, he was a very unassuming and modest man.
The words "irreplaceable" and "genius" are often overused, but these don't even sum up what an influence the man was.
We should all play our favourite Peel Session tonight in tribute.
