Very sobering news. I first saw him on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test'. He was one of a kind.

Exactly. Surely that tag is reserved for Rick Astley.

Very sad news. One of my all-time favourite musicians with one of the most distinctive voices and vocal styles ever. His legacy is two masterpiece albums, Safe as Milk and Trout Mask Replica, his vocals on Frank Zappa tracks and the art work he devoted his later life to. RIP.
