Very very sad news, the guy was a genius. He was a pretty hardcore drinker, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Yep. Very very sad news, the guy was a genius.

He was a pretty hardcore drinker, so I’m sure that had something to do with it.

It's was announced on his website and on the BBC website, so it's not false information. I'm so fucking upset, I loved John. He was only 60 as well. Cause of death hasn't been announced yet.

I'm glad to hear other readers feel the same way. I like to describe him as a jazzier Nick Drake. John Martyn is amazing. I’m glad to hear other readers feel the same way.

The two LP's "Stormbringer" and "Road to Ruin" are brilliant. Chill-out music before chill-out was invented. I think his best work was with his ex-wife Beverley.

The song he sings in the video is a little rough around the edges, but his earlier stuff is fantastic. Very folksy and relaxing; almost similar to Nick Drake in some ways. I recommend checking out the video below of his live performance from 1977. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhFLtOIhhCw John Martyn is one handsome fella.
