Grew up listening to him on 2fm and later Today Fm. I'm genuinely gutted to read this. Rip Tony xxx

RIP - He was cheesy (in a good way) but always got great ratings.

Ah no, RIP.

I know some people who worked with him. I remember asking if his radio persona was the same as his real life persona. They told me that he was. He was a real nice person apparently.

And only in Jan of this year he was on course to be back on air within a month. Very sad.

I wasn't really a fan but that's very sad news. Much too young. RIP.

Dermot and Dave have gone off air. Today FM is just playing music with no breaks... sad time for the station.

Sad news, RIP Tony.

Very Sad , RIP Tony

Awful news. RIP.

So very sad. Used to love listening to his music documentary/ dedication shows on Sunday evenings on Today FM. One which sticks in my mind was the one he did about the music history of Fleetwood Mac.

He was an incredible presenter, had an eclectic taste in music and will be very missed on the airwaves. Rip Tony.

Very sad to hear this. Always enjoyed his shows. RIP

That's awful, I didn't even know he was ill. Rest in Peace. I have fond memories of travelling on the bus to school, hearing Tony Fenton's voice coming out of the radio every morning. He had such a pleasant voice and he just seemed like such a gentleman.

Awful news. Was not that long ago he was on The Late Late Show saying how he had beaten it and was in great spirits.

Cancer is a relentless cúnt of a disease.

Farewell Tony.

A likeable cheeseball, I mean that in the fondest way.

Aw, grew up with him being on the radio. Didn't realise he was that young. Very sad. RIP.

The man had the ultimate radio voice. His smooth velvety tone always had a calming effect no matter what he was talking about. Gone way before his time. RIP Tony
