One of my radio heroes and like many will say, a great friend. Such a loss. Way too young.

She was lovely. A lifelong champion of music. Will be much missed.
Dreadful news. Janice stood with us on the pitch at Wembley stadium as we announced Live Aid. A broadcast legend and absolute music lover. 🙏 BBC DJ and broadcaster Janice Long dies at 66 bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…

One of the greatest broadcasters of our time and of all time in music radio. Created his own world that we were welcome to join. A one-off. I am sure we will hear much more from him.
Wishing Steve Wright the very best as he announces his departure from The Big Show @BBCRadio2 just now: radio royalty, a craftsman of the trade, one of our greatest broadcasters, a radio genius #seriousbroadcastin

What a lovely message from Macca. Thoroughly genuine man.
I was very sad to hear that my old Liverpudlian friend Janice Long has passed away. Janice was a fun-loving lady who always had a twinkle in her eye. She was very knowledgeable about the music scene and whenever we met it was a pleasure and we had a great laugh.
