Same here, I've been a fan since the early 80's.

It's looking like a hillbilly heroin overdose :(

Wasn't a fan but, being an old git, most of the artists I like are around his age or older. And the majority of them don't limit their drug intake to caffeine.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

It's been a grim year for celebrities.

He's never been the druggie type over the years....those bloody vicodin/oxy pills are too widespread now and are dropping them like flies.

Sad, been a huge fan since the 80's. Purple Rain probably my fav song . . . did you know he hit on the solo almost by accident . . . . messing/jamming in from of a live audience .... he created it real time.

Like the best music should be, just have a jam and let the magic happen. Rock on to the clouds!

I wish I had one of these to toast him

Was only chatting to a mate about this yesterday, I hope whoever has control over the back catalogue/vault stuff releases decent music. Jeff Buckley was a disaster.

So far they are saying that his sister will inherit the whole lot.

I suspect she has enough money from that so she won't need to just splurge it out. Indeed I hope in a way that she doesn't just dump it all out at once.
