I didn't know that, micmak..... I will long remember the Humblebums, with him and Billy Connolly "before they were famous" - brilliant stuff.

I didn't know - was this announced tonight? He had a troubled life I understand- I recall stories of living in squalor over a number of years despite his fame and royalties

I didn't know this either, Baker Street always takes me back to a very turbulent period in my life. RIP

Wiki has updated remarkable rapidly - he died today of liver failure (although wiki is subject to updating). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Rafferty

I'm sorry to say that I had forgotten that he was in Stealers Wheel too.

Ah yes ... the man who wrote the most cliched and goony-requested saxophone solo in history. I bl**dy hate that sax break!

Sad to see his demise, though.

It's a shame that he drank himself to death, he was an icon.

Do you really saxy? A friend of mine thinks it's the sexiest piece of music ever written.

Sad. RIP.

He was a fantastic musician and songwriter and sadly couldn't recover from the devastating effects of his drinking. So sad, so common and such a waste.
