A very bad year for music, another legend has passed away :-( R.I.P.
| | |
Huge RIP, his music is so cool.
| | |
Nope it was shit. But the bloke was a massive part of growing up.
RIP

His music was referred to as 'dire Rea' in our household back in the day but as you said, still a nostalgia legend.
| | |
Died peacefully, that's good. I've been hearing his works on the radio since... always, I think. Blue Cafe, Looking for the Summer and Driving Home for Christmas are eternally great listens.

aw man, Road to Hell 1+2 is in my road trip playlist and it's always a jam. RIP.

This ain't no technological breakdown...
