It's such a sad and ultimately final chapter in such an amazing musical life story.  :sad:

that is sad, not sure what to write.. loved his sound and playing. this can happen to anyone after a certain age, i hope he is able to somehow know happiness still.

I found this out recently too and I feel for his bandmates, family and friends.  One of my top three guitar heros (along with Angus and SRV) he's an absolute legend in rock n' roll.

Great article on him here:
