This is indeed very sad news.
Gil - wherever you are now, thank you for all your brilliant music, your deep and powerful lyrics also the poetry and books. I am a huge fan of many years, very lucky to have seen you live back in 1991 in Oxford - you and the band gave us a brilliant set with a great sense of humour running all the way through it. One of the best - wish I'd seen you more times......
You have moved on but your voice and its message will continue to be heard through your work.
RIP Sue xx
