Pass on my respects to his family. Didn't know him in person, but liked him a lot on here.

andy popp · January 04, 2016, 03:30:35 pm

This is awful news. My sympathies to those who knew Rob personally.

Falling Down · January 04, 2016, 06:57:27 pm

Oh no that's sad news. Condolences to you, his friends and the family.

mrjonathanr · January 04, 2016, 07:24:47 pm

Sorry to hear that, sad news.

SA Chris · January 05, 2016, 09:15:49 am

RIP, he can be proud of achievement.

Rob was a really, really lovely bloke.

Warm, welcoming, and would frequently, happily, put up with someone waffling on about not very much.

This is very sad news indeed.

You were loved by many people Rob xxx

Major Tom has now truly left us. David Bowie has died of cancer at the age of 69. I am totally stunned, a huge part of the soundtrack of my growing up, hugely influential and I always got the impression of a decent bloke. RIP indeed.

SA Chris · January 11, 2016, 12:18:47 pm

I remember as a 5 or 6 year old watching TOTP as this weird looking guy with a goldfish bowl on his head as he sang out in that distinctive voice "ground control to Major Tom" First "pop" song I can ever remember hearing. At the time I didn't realise how much I would come to love his music from my teens right through to my adult years. And China Girl video was probably the first time I saw an adult tit.

For fuck's sake. Nobody screamed "LOOOOOOOOOOOOXLEEEEEEEEEEY!" better than he.

Come on GR, make it a hat trick of 69ers and cheer everyone up...

I've been reliably informed Rob's funeral is to be held in the woodland section of Hope cemetery on the 25th at 11.00 am.

(Apologies if this is incorrect, btw. Either I or someone else will correct this if I'm wrong)

DaveC · January 19, 2016, 05:53:37 am

Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Whether you like them or not, they are one of the most successful bands in music and another part of my youth now dying.

a dense loner · January 19, 2016, 08:53:49 am

Maybe I should stop looking at this thread

SA Chris · January 19, 2016, 09:19:11 am

age 67, he's definitely bucking the trend. Did some fantastic songs which have become part of the fabric of our culture. RIP.

sherlock · January 19, 2016, 10:16:51 am

andy popp · January 19, 2016, 10:46:13 am

And now also Dallas Taylor, 66, drummer for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (no, I'd never heard of him but given this week too eerie not to mention).

fried · January 19, 2016, 01:28:56 pm

Who'd want to be an aging rock n roll star this week.
