The final curtain call. Ah, what a shame we didn’t get to see him perform just one more time, never mind fifty. I hope the world will remember him for his music and nothing else. People are already pumping out naff jokes about his death…..
True, he led a bit of a chequered private life (it’s [...]

You know the magazines: Q, Mojo, Uncut, NME etc. It does seem to be a bit of a defunkt concept these days because as we keep being told, people don’t listen to albums anymore do they?
