        @fiend_fatale @joswhatley he was the greatest musician UK ever had. A genius, a gentle soul, man of culture, an inventor, a real musician.

        @londinia37 Read lots of articles about him this morning. Lots of my friends also hadn't heard of him, which is surprising given his career.

        @fiend_fatale he couldn't have tribute bands carrying on his music, nobody can play at that level and very few can compose like he did.
