Veteran BBC broadcaster John Peel has died at the age of 65, while on
holiday in Peru.

Peel, whose radio career spanned 40 years, was on a working holiday in
the city of Cuzco with his wife Sheila when he suffered a heart
attack.

He was BBC Radio 1's longest-serving DJ and in recent years had also
presented Home Truths on Radio 4.

Radio 1 controller Andy Parfitt said Peel's contribution to modern
music and culture was "immeasurable".
