taunton-hobbit Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Sad news - so much talent, so young. We are rapidly running out of our musical icons, it's very unnerving......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just shocking, at this rate there isn't going to be any celebs left by September, this really is a crap year. I only downloaded the track Paisley Park last week RIP to a fine showman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steantval Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's true, yet another amazing musician lost this year, 2016 is looking to be a bad year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Never really liked his music, but he was one hell of a great guitarist. It is sad news. Interestingly, there was an article on, I think, the BBC. It went on too say that there are seemingly more deaths because of the way celebrity has come about. Before the 50`s, the celebrities were film stars, but since the rise of pop music,and TV there are so many celebrities in their 60`s plus, so it is inevitable that it just seems more. If you think that people like David Gest had celebrity status, then it is no wonder there seems so many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Im not quite sure what to say. My favourite musician of all time and in my opinion the best of the 20th century is gone, I'm speechless. !!!!!!! that has really taken me aback. !! Its the only time the death of a musician, i didn't know has upset me. Edited April 21, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The void left by all of the music he still had left to contribute is the bit that hurts the most. Truly an icon.

NickD Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Haggard, Rickman and Wood... no fair... That could have been all of One Direction and that Sam Smith bloke! It's a big loss. Not always to my taste, but an incredible body of work, always changing and always pretty original. RIP fella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Bad, bad news. A terrific, talented musician who composed some truly great numbers for himself and others. Some top, top musicians have played on his sessions and in his touring bands. R.I.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
