    He'll be back on Monday. I believe in miracles.

    Heard on the news earlier "He died at home in Bermuda", coincidentally the way I also want to go.

    I used to be mates with Tony, the drummer. Sound fellas. Sorry to hear Errol died, but he was a ripe old age for a partaay man to reach.

    I looked up his age there, was expecting a much older fella.
    Early 70s nowadays... it's old, but not very.

    Same age as Mick and Keef and younger than Ringo.

    I loved his music. He always seemed such a laid back down to earth guy.

    The father sat beside him on a plane once.

    It's our families claim to fame. RIP.

    Awww crap. Did they not just play Vicar St last Sunday?

    I really wanted to go, there were some cheap tickets on Adverts.ie aswell, but I couldn't go as I was up the country.

    He was one of the disco greats.

    Yeah, they did. He wasn't there though, left in 1986. They replaced him with the guy that impersonated him on Stars In Their Eyes. True story!

    Always loved his music. Rest In Peace Mr Brown. "It Started With A Kiss" is one of my favourite songs.
