Had a melanoma and refused to get his toe amputated, so it spread all over his body and killed him. At age 36. Another example of religion screwing things up.

But I liked his music.

He was definitely on my list of artists I really wanted to see, so I'm glad I got the chance.

I lived there during that time, but was busy working etc. Didn't really know who he was, but kept seeing posters for him.

Impossible to measure all the good things a human being did in life. But, we can sense it in the lives of those the person touched.
