Sad news. She played a few requests for me over the years.

Janice Long was the sister of the late Keith Chegwin, who died in December 2017. Sad to learn of her death at the age of 66. Janice Long RIP.

Gone way too early. Very sad. RIP Janice Long.

RIP Janice Long. I didn't know until quite recently that she and Keith Chegwin were siblings.
