He stole the show during what was a lacklustre performance up until he arrived on stage.
I'm shocked. One of the most prolific songwriters of the last 35 years gone way too early. An enigmatic character but definitely an unrivalled one. I just couldn't accept it initially - I thought, knowing his arcane attitude, he would say he was alive and announce a new album. Just not to be. And to think I had the chance to see him in Glasgow, but rather saw Kasabian at a small club show instead. Wish I had taken the opportunity. I once tried to buy all of his albums but it's too much of a feat.
Rest in Peace.
