Very sad news.
Pancreatic cancer is such an awful cruel disease.
By complete chance, I was at The Smiths first ever gig at the Ritz - I had tagged along with a few mates (they were all jazzfunkers) to see Blue Rondo a la Turk, The Smiths were the support. There was only about 15 people in the crowd when The Smiths played so I count myself as being very lucky to have witnessed that.
Thanks for the music and the memories
