Former Radio 1 DJ Andy Peebles, the last person to interview John Lennon, has died at the age of 76, his family has confirmed.

Peebles interviewed Lennon two days before the musician's murder in December 1980.

Peebles was also one of the presenters at Wembley Stadium for the Live Aid concert in 1985, introducing artists including David Bowie, Spandau Ballet and Paul Young.
