The reason I picked up a bass, i’ve admired you ever since I listened to my first smiths song, i wish to meet you one day, if not in this life than perhaps the next.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and fans
As a teenager in the '80s flipping the cassettes to play over and over, so melodic, so wonderful, a fan forever, thank you for the beautiful music
Memory eternal rest in peace
