The broadcaster Andy Kershaw, who presented BBC Radio 1 for almost 15 years, has died at the age of 66, his family have told the BBC.
The DJ spent almost three decades working for the corporation and was best known for his Radio 1 show, which ran from 1985 to 2000.
It was reported in January that Kershaw was undergoing cancer treatment after tumours, which were severely limiting his mobility, were discovered in his spine last August.
Kershaw started his career at the BBC in 1984 as the host of its rock music show Old Grey Whistle Test, and later co-presented the corporation’s television coverage of Live Aid.
