Janice Long has died

[Cocolapew]

She was only 66, what sad news

Dreadful. Poor woman. No age at all

So young

RIP Janice.

Well that's so sad. She was rather groundbreaking.
I didn't realise she was Keith Chegwin's sister until recently.
What happened? Don't want to Google.

It just said after a short illness on the report I read awishes.

So sad
No age at all

So sad. Apparently she tweeted from hospital in June so I guess that's when the illness started??

Christ rip Janice .So sad .

Very sad. I was watching an old TOTP2 with her on it last week. I remember her being one of the very few women on the radio when I was growing up.

Keith Chegwin died young too. So sad

@toomuchlaundry

Keith Chegwin died young too. So sad

I don't remember him dying

So sad, far too young.

I'm really sad to hear this. Janice was amazing, a groundbreaking feminist icon.

That's so sad. My first thought was that she died young like her brother.

Shocked to hear this. I used to listen to Janice on radio 2. Sending condolences to her family.

@Cocolapew he died in 2017

Oh that's so sad, I loved Janice Long on radio 2

Why on earth do I not remember that?

I listened to an interview/ podcast where she talked about palliative/ cancer care I think.

Very sad news. A great role model at a time when there were very few women DJs in the public eye.

I remember her as a champion of new music and upcoming bands when I was a teenager. Great broadcaster.

RIP Janice.

Oh how sad. She got me through many, many, long dark nights in my mid twenties.

I just read one report that said she died from complications of pneumonia. Very sad. Keith died relatively young as well.

Couldn’t believe it either. She was great.

God rest her soul.

Lots of love for her on Twitter, I hope she knew how much she was loved when she was alive.
