Bosses of Glastonbury Festival have confirmed that they are to rename the iconic John Peel Stage amid a series of sex allegations made against the late DJ.
A petition was launched last year urging organisers to give the famous tent a new name after alleged victims of the disc jockey have spoken out. He did not deny being involved with underage girls and his first marriage was to 15-year-old Shirley Anne Milburn in Texas - where it was legal at that age - in 1965 when he was 25. He maintained she lied about her age at the time.
An interview originally published in The Herald in April 2004 stated that Peel admitted to sexual contact with "an awful lot" of underage girls because he never asked for ID.
