His last album 'Drive' had some good reviews. Very sad that someone with as much talent and musical drive should come to premature end. Seems strange one big heart attack should take him away like that, without any warning signs.
God bless him.

Seemed like a nice guy, though I'll be honest and say I couldn't stand his records.

Real shame - worked with him on the track with UB40....

Did they say if the heart attack was related to anything?

Nice guy

no, not yet. Haven't seen any mention of known heart problems. Guess they'll not know for sure unless they do a Post-mortem.

Maybe Unclebuck's picture hints at why he kicked that bucket 20 odd years too early
