Terrible news.
That first album was a 90s guitar pop classic.

I don’t know if he counts as a celebrity but I’m gutted to see Bruce Dawe died. His poem Life Cycle about AFL (or VFL) is absolutely brilliant.

Farewell to the wonderful singer, Bill Withers. Ain’t no sunshine when he’s gone.

Hell of a voice

Really sad about this one. A beautiful man, with a beautiful voice.
Thanks for your music, Bill.

He quit the music biz way back in 1985 because he didn’t like what his record company were trying to turn him into. Respect.

I don’t know what to say.
He was such a gentle, grounded, giving…lovely man.

Oh, cobblers! I thought he’d last.

God rest his sole.

Far out, this thing has been brutal for ageing legends in the US.

Sad to hear, wonderful muso, has left a great family legacy to keep going and going.
