sad news indeed. Not music I listen to very often, but coincidentally last week I completely out of the blue was wondering what he was up to these days and found no new news on his site over the last year or so.
Saw him live twice with his band, once in Paris once in Amsterdam. Both times was a phenomenal experience. Also had a ticket for another concert in Paris when he played with
100 guitars, but in the end didn't make it due to work conflicts.
