Yes a great, great shame but possibly a blessing as I understand he had a cancer and when you've gotta go quick is gotta be better than slow.
Happy daze listening to JP with my tranny and ear piece under the bed clothes (ooh er missus
) as a young teenager in the early 70's.
Even a couple of bands from my school managed to get on Peely's show.
JP you will be missed .............. hope you're listening to 'Teenage Kicks' to your hearts content now.
