According to Graham Walker from Thestar.co.uk, Dave Kilner, the voice of Sheffield radio, who championed showbiz careers and helped to raise millions of pounds for charities, was remembered at Sheffield Cathedral in Sheffield, UK yesterday (October 14th).
DEF LEPPARD bassist Rick Savage was among the hundreds of friends and colleagues who attended the funeral for the 48-year-old, who lived in Whirlow and was the best-known DJ in South Yorkshire for many years.
Before the service, Def Leppard's Rick Savage told The Star that his memories of the DJ were "too many to mention."
"We mutually gave each other helping hands at the beginning of our careers and that blossomed into an ongoing friendship," the rocker said. "This is a really sad day," he added.
