Gerry Rafferty dies


I'm saddened to hear of of his death at the young age of 63. He was a supremely talented singer/songwriter/musician who suffered and died from progressive alcoholism which plagued him during his lifetime.

I'm saddened even more by the British Press releasing his plagued faults. I guess when another talent passes and I'm not talking superstar. They will once again disclose the fault that took their life too. Raferty like many other born talents will be sadley missed for his contribution to the era. Rest in peace and don't mind the ignorance of the press after you passed ............
It doesnt bother me they released why he died, people will want to know. I wish these talented folks could live a better life so they didnt leave us so soon.
Same here, these great talents always live some sort of miserable lifestyle and leave early, what a shame.
It's not necessary to reveal things of that nature. They should have had more respect for his family.
