Sky News are reporting that he has died of a heart attack this evening in LA. I'm not his biggest fan, in fact I can count the number of his songs that I like on 1 hand. Still, a big loss to the music industry and to his fans all over the world. I'm sure there will be a multitude of jokes about his passing (some of which will no doubt be quite sick), but for his families sake I hope they get some privacy at this time.
