Tbo Touch to throw a farewell bash - with free drinks for everyone!

Radio veteran Tbo Touch has called time on his 11 year journey at Metro FM. And to thank fans for their support, he has decided to throw a massive farewell party.

Touch shocked many this week when he announced his resignation from the station on Monday. His decision caused a near meltdown on social media, with fans flooding Twitter with messages of support for their idol.
