    this feels like a hoax.  Maybe its still early and his people havent commented.  So far, it all stems just from TMZ.  Many national news organizations havent even picked it up (they are also busy with Vegas).


    Hopefully someone put one over TMZ

    Fuck this sucks.  What a great songwriter.   Saw him several times, including earlier this year, and he was just a legend. Planned on seeing him many more times.  RIP

    Oh noooo! I just saw him for the first time last month, and it was so great .... If he's actually gone or about to be, that's just.... fuck. :frowning: I am even more glad I made sure to attend his show. It didn't occur to me that it would be the last chance.
    ..... Pretty great way to go though I suppose, in the scheme of things. Relatively quick and painless. I guess it depends on your perspective though.
    I agree.  Having a heart attack that takes you out in minutes seems better than living old enough that you get all sort of medical problems (like dementia).   Still.. he was only 66.  I make jokes about the fact i'd rather have a massive coronary than live too old, but I was thinking age 89 or 90 or something, not 66.....  it seems too short :(
  • He was one of the few artists still on my list to see; I figured he was still fairly young and would be around forever. Spinning the black circle as soon as I get home from work.

    The band posted something on Instagram saying they needed a 'long nap' after finishing their most recent tour. I really hope someone is just fucking around.
