Man... people need to stop dying. This is unfortunate. Deaths always happen in threes it seems. It's really a shame, they were all so young.

This is incredibly sad; I loved his voice, and his material and songwriting were amazing. Totally unexpected and, as
everyone has been saying, devastating.

This just sucks so hard. I've been listening to his music for almost 20 years now. I still remember vividly the first time I ever heard Leche Con Carne. He was such an under rated song writer. Those who grew up listening to him know what we lost today. Such. A. Bummer.

And it's too soon to say good-bye
Listen where ever you may be
You still live inside my mind"

Hope he'll be back
