That's sad news, I always enjoyed his shows on Radio One in the 70's & 80's.
My Cousin Peter wrote all of the questions for Johnnie's 'Pop the question' quiz for his lunchtime show on Radio One, but that's another story.

What a lovely calm voice he had. Always good to listen to.

I remember Johnnies "kiss in the car club" back in the 1960s on Radio Caroline.
Kiss all the way through a record to get a sticker.
Always one of my favorite DJ's in those long gone days. Played our kind of music.
A very sad day for the music scene.
Condolences from my wife of 54 years and myself (both KITCC members)
RIP Johnnie.

Just seen this on here: I'm stunned how I've managed to miss this.
I watch the news avidly (given up with newspapers) and I can't say I saw anything about it.
Yet last night the news was full of Stormzy (WHO?) getting a driving ban for using his mobile whilst driving, yet no mention of Johnnie.
Johnnie wasn't a radio presenter pretending to be a D.J. he was a real D.J. and kept me going for years on my daily 70 mile commute.
He will be sorely missed
