He was! He was passionate and left us with some beautiful music. I miss him, God bless his soul.
He really went down hill physically in his last days, but his voice was strong. Here are pics from his last three original videos:
"I'm Going Slightly Mad"
"Headlong"
"These Are the Days of our Lives"
Last public appearance, accepting a lifetime achievement award "BPI" award with the rest of the band.
