The family of John Peel have said they will complete the autobiography the legendary broadcaster was half way through completing when he died.
His widow Shelia told reporters this week: "We thought long and hard about what we should do with John's autobiography. This book was very important to him and he was very excited about writing it. He would have wanted his family to complete it".
Confirming that Peel's autobiography would be completed, Larry Finlay, managing director of Transworld who will publish the book, told CMU: "Everyone at Transworld felt John's passing as a personal loss. As the many tributes have said, John was a rare man whom millions felt they knew personally. We all grew up with him and felt him to be a friend who was part of our lives. It is a privilege for us to be able to work with his family to publish the book that I know John himself would have wanted."
