A sad loss. 
Anyone else finds it odd that R2 mentions in the news how great GSH was but when did R2 last play any of his tracks ? 
It's similar with their documentaries they tell us how great artists / record labels are/were BUT you rarely if ever hear anything by them played on the station |

That is very true and a bit poor from R2

6 Music has been giving The Revolution Will Not Be Televised loads of airplay, but they were doing it before he died.

I hear that Pink Floyd are being trailed as 'great' but we don't hear much of them normally on R2 do we ? |
