Sad news indeed.I was hoping it had not been confirmed.
Spent many a hour listening to Janice on her midnight show travelling back from a job.

Underrated at the time and one of the fist woman to have a daily show on R1, A sort of Annie Nightingale for a later generation.

Janice Long: "I had him (David Cassidy) on my bedroom wall."

John Peel: "That's very athletic of you, Janice."

April Ashley, A true trailblazer that probably went through hell at a time when no one understood and became only the second British person who went through Male to Female transition in 1960 and was "Outed" by a tabloid and all her work as a model/actress dried up dies aged 86. RIP

Her life story is fascinating and while male was in the Merchant Navy along with John Prescott.
