How BBC Radio 1 Dance announced the death of Prince Philip
Date: 2021-08-11 00:00:00

According to internet lore (and various news stories) they quickly notified listeners as pumping dance anthems rolled, turning the solemn accouncement into a banging drop.

The truth, though, is not quite up to snuff: other recordings show a less abrupt departure, with a classical segue. Can't wait for the Prince Andrew Has Been Detained For Questioning remix!
