At first I could not believe it... Now.. just a few days ago it seems like it happened two weeks ago, already??

Gazza was always a big fan ... As for me I appreciated the guy and I liked him as well as the next gent .. but I really only truly got into his mid to late 90's stuff. I found that the most intriguing. I'll be the first to admit .. the guy was truly gifted in several ways.

What a crazy year this has been for artist's mortality. Dare I say it...? Should I ... ?? >> Ok .. I guess I simply must >> ... ......'and it's only April' :/

God! What a shame. Gazza has said it all really. You know when he first broke I didn't even want to like him but, 12 months later, I'm a fan.

I always expected he'd be the one to resurrect the new glam rock, I mean today when it is so sorely needed.

And how about presience, the elevator lyric in Let's Go Crazy; wow!
Weird! Safe journey Prince.
