Absolutely so. Amazing how he carried on working so long. I can't help but feel that it is no coincidence he died so soon after having to retire, perhaps a loss of raison d'etre for him. I loved his shows.

He was dying for a long while, he had to retire as he couldn’t continue.

He was one of radio's 60s rebels. More than 50 years later, after many ups and downs he was still broadcasting as the BBC's...

 

Doesn't he look eerily like Alan Partridge in that photo?

Very true Mick, but for me, still a bit sad.
