He was a legend.I know my mom will be highly upset when she finds out(If she hasn't already)as she loved him.I liked some of his stuff also.

RIP.

Yeah my cousin was a massive fan, she's just text me. Wasted hundreds getting tickets to see him, never really a fan myself but he certainly had appeal to some.

Super young, wow, 57...incredible... Can't say I liked a single song that he did to be honest, couldn't see the appeal at all,  but a good friend of mine went to see him live loads of times and said he was amazing. Aparantly he never gave the rest of the band a set list he just made them learn every song he did and then picked what he felt like on the night.

Shocked!

Can't believe how sad I feel, only saw him once when I was too cool to really enjoy it, but thanks to the wonder of I-Cloud putting the wife's Prince albums on my pod, I'd begun to understand just what a talented guy he was.

Check out some of his guitar solos on you tube. I only really got just how talented he was when I started looking around for a few awesome solos one night, Eric Clapton doing Layla, that sort of thing, then stumbled upon him soloing on while my guitar gently weeps at re George Harrison tribute concert. Unreal.

Not quite the right era to have been a huge fan of his music, but the classics are always classic. But the mans skill on a guitar, good grief.
