Very sad and 63 is no age. They played Bedford Park only this Summer, who would've thought? 🌷⚘️

Dying shortly after being diagnosed is becoming too common.

He united cultures through music. He should have been knighted.

😥

It's The Dawning of a New Era...

Rest in peace

Gone too soon.🏁

I just can't process this.

Thanks for the info … horrible disease 😢

Legendary! Thank you Terry.👏

It's safe to assume he was multi vaxxed otherwise SkyNews would be screaming UNVACCINATED in their headline, you know it.

Two Tone at its best!
