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.

Glen Campbell. Way more than a Country superstar. He was one of the founding musicians of popular music.

It's @djgarydavies versus @markgoodier on Top Of The Pops from 1989 on BBC4 tonight.
Gary gets to introduce 808 State and the fab Rob N Raz, whilst Mark gets some real scraps the following week, and ends up with Sydney Youngblood's forgotten follow-up to If Only I Could.

So sad. Andy was one of the good guys.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer. Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans. We request privacy at this sad time.
