Oh balls of fire, wrong place, can a mod move it please?

I thought he already had.

He was reported dead earlier in the week but later was shown to be alive and well.

The Guardian's obituary is good.
Lewis embodied pinched obduracy, brooding, malevolent ignorance, violent unreliability and borderline madness. He abused women, played with guns and shot at men; he drove the highways of the south blind drunk with his loaded pistol on the dashboard. Yet in the vivid contrast between the meanness of the man and the grandeur of the artist, the common denominators were his phenomenal energy and admirable, all-conquering self-belief.

Absolute legend. He'll always be remembered for his great music.

Had a very colourful life, married seven times and shot his bass player, plus a load of other stuff.

Goodness gracious!

Didn't he marry his 13 year old cousin?

 

[Cycleops]
