Never got the "parrot head" fascination and he supported Obama and Hillary.

RIP otherwise.

They are hiding his death details. They seem to like to do that these days.

I wonder why????

What could he have had that they want to keep hidden? I understand privacy and all but if it was cancer, you think they would be open about it.

I suspect he got the cancer diagnosis in October, went immediately into Chemo, he was able to play his last show in May, but it probably took a lot to get him in good enough shape to do it, and then, pretty much that was it.

I used to get free tickets from an ex gf boss.
Been to like 6 or 7 shows.
I gotta say that the parking lot tailgate party’s were 1st rate.
I used to hate in when it was time for the actual concert to start...

RIP

He appealed to so many - I am sad people didn’t get the opportunity to grieve or to adjust to the pending loss or to at least have hope. Just one day, he is gone.
