Description
Renowned radio personality and entertainer Lindsay Yeo has died at the age of 78.
Yeo hosted the 2ZB Breakfast Show in Wellington for 23 years until 1995, which was frequently the city's highest rated programme.
He created the children's character "Buzz O'Bumble," which would appear on the show, alongside other whimsical characters.
Yeo also appeared on Classic Hits FM and TVNZ's Top Dance, and toured the country with live stage shows.
In retirement, Yeo also founded music station Radiyo Richmond in 2016 out of a caravan in the Tasman District.
In 2017, 22 years after passing on the torch, he joined Tim Fookes on the Morning Show in Wellington to mark the 80th anniversary of 2ZB.
