|March 24, 2025
Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Andy Peebles, who conducted the last ever interview with John Lennon, has died shortly before he was due to start a new presenting gig. He was 76.
Fellow presenter Mike Read shared the news yesterday: “Devastated to hear the news about our chum Andy Peebles. He was about to join us at Heritage [the UK’s only chart-based music show]. We joined Radio 1 together. Knew his music inside and out.”
He continued of the cricket fan and sports pundit: “Raise your bat and enjoy a long rest in the pavilion. We lunched recently with DLT and Adrian Juste. Great innings.” Peebles’s family confirmed the news of his death to the BBC.
