Just being reported, had an 18 month battle with cancer apparently, which had been kept quiet.

An artist I had learned to have much more respect for as I got older,

Damn.

Just seen this on GMB... a huge shock, and awful news.

Another lost too soon to cancer.

Just heard it on BBC Breakfast. I'm in complete shock!

Truly worthy of the tag music legend. He produced so much great music, always innovative, always changing, always brilliant. RIP

Well thats a shock. I admit i'm not a fan of his music but still, i'm surprised hadn't heard he had cancer.
Its difficult to know what to say but i think the fact people like me who aren't fans can name songs by him says it all really.

That's a shame. He was a bit different from most musicians. 69 isn't a great age these days.
