My husband introduced me to his music in 1983 and it has been the soundtrack to our lives ever since. Our daughter grew up on his music and says she feels so honoured to have seen him live so many times, the first was when she was 10 yrs old( we had told her we were taking her to a panto.... she was more than thrilled when it wasn't) He put so much into every performance.

What a legend, even if his accountant was a bit dodgy. Can't believe he was 86. Seems like only yesterday he was winning races.
