Legendary radio broadcaster and John Peel has died, the BBC has just announced. He suffered a heart attack last night while on holiday in Peru, according to the Press Association. He was 65. As someone has commented on the BBC's John Peel messageboard, 'how on earth is he going to be replaced?'
Our story is here and there's a series of pictures of Peel here. His BBC homepage is here: the messageboard is already jammed with people trying to pay tribute. If you can't access it, Guardian Unlimited talkboard users are paying tribute here.
There's also an excellent John Peel page on Wikipedia.
