It was touching to actually see how many of my generation adored him as well as the older generations. He touched the lives of many and I will continue to listen to his eclectic collection for the rest of my life.

A true hero and a musical legend.

Rest in peace to one of my all time favourite musicians, like the articles say, you never seemed like you were from this planet and have now returned home.
