Famous shock jock James Stannage has died at the age of 76.
In a social media post yesterday, his son Darren posted: “It is with great sadness that today cancer took another victim. This time it was a partner, a dad, a grandad and a brother.
“Also someone who meant so much to so many people in Manchester as my Dad James Stannage has passed away. He died peacefully this morning at MRI after battling cancer for over a year.
“Listening to The Who, he was surrounded by people that loved him and died at 1152am. Such a remarkable time as that was the Radio Station that made him a legend in Manchester to so many people who grew up listening to him on Piccadilly and later on Key103.
“ There will be so many stories and memories that people will have. I will miss him so much as I know so many people will and am very lucky to have been able to have called him my Dad. X”
