That is sad news but I don’t thing dying at 74 with the comorbidities he had is particularly surprising, nor young

It’s sad but I wouldn’t say 74 is young.

Horribly sad. He was such a character and had such talent.

But 74 isn’t young. We all seem to want to live forever nowadays.

Hardly ‘so young’.

I saw him interviewed and he was quite funny. When I was a teenager I thought 30 was old!

Just seen 74. Hardly young! A life lived fully.

Young??
He died around the average age that most men in the western world die. Sad for his loved ones but otherwise unexpected.

He was well into his 70s and very overweight. Working in entertainment, it's fairly likely he'd done more than his fair share of drinking, smoking and maybe drugs over the years too.

That's sad, I was a big fan of his work, but I also know he hadn't been in the best of health in recent years. He had fans all over the world and was a talented musician who left a fantastic catalogue of work to be enjoyed.
