John Martyn died today

[fryalot]

of pneumonia apparently

I just seen this on the Times online. Very sad.

That is a shock and really sad. I loved his music.

How sad; he was comparatively young but he hadn't been in good health for a long time.

'Solid Air' is my most favourite album ever.

May you never lay your head down,
without a hand to hold...

may you never make your bed out in the cold

I am so sorry to hear this.

been watching this all evening. very sad.

My DH is sad about this, too. He was quite a fan - and former schoomate - of John Martyn aka Ian McGeachie.

RIP

I'm much sadder about this than I should be. John Martyn was the soundtrack to my childhood, thanks to my mum playing his albums to us (who needs nursery rhymes when you have Solid Air?)
RIP

I'm sorry to hear this. But I saw him do a concert about 8 years ago, and to be honest he was in a bad way then. I am surprised he lived until now. We've been playing Solid Air tonight and having a wee dram in his memory.

Oh no - I saw him in concert many times in my youth - early-mid 1980s. A top guy.

'may you never lay your head down' is one of my fav. songs.

Amazing that only 60.
Fond memories of getting shitfaced mellow to 'May you never' with squeeze of the time.

I love that song
and i love the slurring.
solid air is truly fab

My Dad will be really upset by this. Bet he's sitting with a whiskey and a bunch of memories.

'May you never' is such a beautiful gentle song. Very sad.
