Very Sad, only 58, younger than my brothers.

[Janet]

Too young Ziggy...taken far too young.

 

Anybody who bothers to listen beyond the first four minutes of that video will soon realise what a great talent has been taken..

 

It's very scary to realise that many of my musical heroes are now gone...

[Alan Stubbs]

Sad to see him go, but having seen him twice last year, my opinion of him nose-dived.

 

Gratuitous abuse of the audience... were they responsble for him starting a song in the wrong key and having to stop and re-start? According to him they were.

 

Whilst he generated some good tunage and he was certainly a decent exponent of what he did, he was a copyist who rarely acknowledged his sources. The exception being Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac. He owed the inspiration for Still got the blues and Parisienne Walkways to Roy Buchanan.

 

It is sad to see him go, but is music the poorer for it? Definitely not.
