It's interesting that they mentioned "Get Back," but none of his awesome work on "Lady Madonna"

he was a really great musician. I loved his work...so varied.

I heard about this today, and I was so shocked. He had apparently been in very ill health for quite some time - in a coma since November! I had no idea. Only 59 years old.

I remember his big old toothy grin and the enormous Afro hairstyle. Such an exuberant musician. A very sad loss for all of us.
