Fucking gutted. Never saw this one coming.
A true artist and maverick. Just unique.
Up there as one of the greatest live acts ever for me - and quite possibly the most naturally gifted.
Very fond memories of that night at the 02 in August 2007 - in the middle of the three Stones shows when Adrian-L, Bitch, Partydollmeg, Sweet Virginia and myself went to see one of the gigs on his 21-night run. But the real jawdropper was the after-show gig that Meg, SV and I went to at the Indigo2 next door afterwards. He jammed with his band and the rapper Common (who had been his opening act at the main show) for a couple of hours and even though he only probably sang lead on about 3 or 4 of the songs they played that night it was one of the most incredible gigs I've ever seen.
Even if a lot of his recent work could be very hit and miss, I always loved the fact that he basically marched to the beat of his own drum. There's far too few acts like that nowadays and thats another one of them gone this year already. 2016 can fuck right off.
Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad Sometimes I wish life was never ending, and all good things, they say, never last
