Oh dear. Someone at the BBC is having a very bad day indeed. Earlier today the corporation announced that Brian Matthew — the veteran BBC presenter and former host of Sounds of the 60s — has died aged 88. The news was soon followed up by several newspapers, with obituaries published and a message of condolence from The Who.
However, there’s an issue. It turns out that Matthew isn’t actually dead. Instead he remains critically ill. The Beeb have since issued a correction explaining that he is alive.
Mr S sends his best to Matthew as he fights his illness.
