A clip from the Midday news bulletin on BBC Radio 2 at the start of the Jeremy Vine Show on Wednesday 5th April 2017. Justine Greene reports the news of Brian Matthew's death at the end of the bulletin, and Jeremy Vine pays tribute straight afterwards.
Radio 2 then dropped all mention of the story, and at 2.09pm the same day, the BBC Press Office confirmed that Brian was still alive but remained critically ill. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2017/04/brian-matthew-critically-ill-but-alive/
