Today I received the saddest news from the music world of my long radio and music artist career. Mike Peters of the Alarm and someone I considered a very dear friend for decades has passed away. I first met Mike when I worked at 91X early in my career and just when The Alarm was breaking in the U.S. Mike and I formed a friendship and stayed in touch over the decades since. In the late 1990's Mike called and asked to come visit my radio station when I was in charge of X1039 and actually hung out for a few days playing guest dj and inviting fans to come down. I did not know then, but Mike had his cancer diagnosis then and was actually saying goodbye.....no one knew then. But months later we got the great news: his cancer was in remission and he was regaining his health. That lasted almost another 30 years as I believe his positive attitude and absolute love of music and the world promoted him to form the "Love, Hope, Strength" and to forge forward...always with music... always with love for his fans, friends and family. My heart goes out to his wife Jules, his children, and the millions around the world the love this man. He will be missed and never forgotten. He was a true hero to the world.
