I just saw this on Twitter. What the heck. I’m so heartbroken. Seemed like the loveliest man.

Vale.

This is so sad. He was a great guy and full of life on air, he was a joy to watch on TV.

Thoughts and prayers and condolences to family and friends.

I knew he hadn’t been in good health but it’s still a shock.

Sad news.

Holy shit. Terrible news

I attended the last recording of Late Night with Jono and Dano at the Seven studios at Epping. A fond memory.

I just read the Jonathon Coleman has passed away. I loved Jono and Dano on 2SM in the 80s. So much fun and mayhem.

I have them recorded on tape and I will see if I can upload it to Soundcloud later today.

I posted a little earlier in the Community Radio Forum re his last regular stint on radio (ref 99.3 2NSB).

That would be great. :slightly_smiling_face: I couldn’t recall listening to them on 2SM, but did hear them on triple J & Triple M

Here’s a post by Jono’s partner in crime:
