Brudnoy died yesterday from a rare form of cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma which he had been fighting for a little over a year.
According to a statement from Massacusetts General Hospital: "Mr. Brudnoy died peacefully, surrounded by friends."
Brudnoy entertained listeners in Boston for over 25 years, spending much of that time at WBZ-AM.
In 1990, Brudnoy was fired from WBZ-AM and listener reaction was so overwhelmingly negative toward the station, it was forced to rehire him.
Prior to that, he worked at WHDH-AM and WRKO-AM, also in Boston.
Brudnoy was 64.
