Tommy Vance RIP

Just heard the news that Tommy Vance has died after suffering from a stroke 3 days ago. For those of you that don't know, Tommy Vance was for many years the voice of the Radio 1 Friday Rock Show. He also did some of the MTV Headbangers Ball related stuff I think. A man that championed rock music and metal in the UK despite it's apparent love of dance music. He will be missed.
