Radio DJ Andy Kershaw dies

His sister, fellow DJ Liz Kershaw, paid a moving tribute to her brother, describing him as her 'best friend' and a major influence on music journalism.

Kershaw's career spanned almost three decades at the BBC, where he succeeded John Peel and became recognized for his eclectic and adventurous taste in music.

He had been undergoing treatment for cancer since his diagnosis in August 2025, which had significantly impacted his mobility in his final months.
