Kirky Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 That's tragic, he'd been looking really well (considering his history!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirky Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) OK, thanks. Sounds like a sad and lonely death.

Sounds like a sad and lonely death.[/quote] I don't think he was sad or lonely. The Stooges have been touring a lot recently to back up a new studio album a year or two ago. I saw them at the Royal Albert Hall a year (or so) ago and they were on fine form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
