Johnnie Walker told listeners on Radio 2 that he will retire at the end of October
Johnnie has been bravely broadcasting his Sunday afternoon show, Sounds of the 70s, whilst seriously ill with pulmonary fibrosis. Over time his condition has worsened and he has now decided to bring his career to a close.
I thought he was a great DJ in his "Caroline" years and have always enjoyed listening to his unique voice and hearing his knowledgeable comments.
Thank you Johnnie, I wish you well in your retirement, which I hope is as long and comfortable as you deserve.
