he had only announced being ill I think the day before - I was very upset, I adored him. The singing, the musical talent, the SHOWMANSHIP - I don't think it will ever be matched.....
Later, I was wondering WTF, the greatest rock n roll singer EVER died and that's IT? And then that tribute concert came about........just wow. 
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
