Feargal Sharkey, former frontman of The Undertones, described Peel as the “single most important broadcaster we have ever known”.
He said: “In the autumn of 1978 something happened that was to change my life forever, John Peel played Teenage Kicks on the radio for the very first time.
“Today, it just changed again, forever.
“We have just lost the single most important broadcaster we have ever known.
“It was John’s efforts that brought us Jimi Hendrix, T Rex, The Undertones and countless others, music that touch the lives of millions.”
He said: “For that, we should all be thankful. A man who became a legend in his own lifetime and thoroughly deserved every minute of it.
“It has been an honour to have known John, it would be an honour to meet him again someday, even if it is only to join him staring vacantly out the window.
“My thoughts are with Sheila and all the family.”
