I'm gutted to hear this. A few years back he came to Manchester and did a gig at Didsbury Cricket Club of all places. Like an idiot I didn't go (don't know any of his new stuff - or any of his old stuff since about 1978...). I wish, I wish, but I wish in vain.

Goodbye, everybody
Now it's time to go.
I hope I don't leave you feeling low,
Oh no....
