Sad news indeed.

Don Partridge was at the Sunday night open mic at the Brewery Tap, Brentford only a few weeks ago (sometime in August anyway). I think he got up to do a couple of songs with Mac McGann. The next morning he was spotted on the platform at a local station with all his gear (presumably to go busking in London). He looked in good shape.

I never met him but as a kid I well remember him on Top of The Pops singing 'Rosie'.
