I read some sad news in the paper while at work today.
Tommy Vance, ex Radio 1 DJ, has died of a stroke at the age of 63. I remember listening to the Friday night rock show when I was a teenager, and Tommy was a brilliant DJ (at least in my opinion). It has brought back a lot of good memories of my friends, my brother and me listening to the show together, and he introduced us, through his show, to a wide range of rock/metal groups, both new and established.
So I would just like to offer my condolences to his family and friends, and to say, rest in peace Tommy, you were great.
In case anyone wants to read a bit more, here is the news as reported on the BBC news site.

By the way, if anybody has seen my post of this in a Forum on any other sites, I am sorry for repeating my self. Also, I am sorry if it doesn't belong in this Forum, and if so, please move it to the correct one.
