Topic: R.I.P. Allan Holdsworth Posted: April 16 2017 at 12:08 |
From the Facebook group The Canterbury Scene, originally posted by Aymeric Leroy: More
sad news... "It is with heavy hearts that we notify everyone of the
passing our beloved father Allan Holdsworth. We would appreciate privacy
and time while we grieve the loss of our dad, grandad, friend and
musical genius. We will update close friends and family when service
arrangements have been made and will notify the public of an open
memorial service, which all would be welcome. We are undeniably still in
shock with his unexpected death and cannot begin to put into words the
overwhelming sadness we are experiencing. He is missed tremendously. Much Love, Louise Holdsworth, Emily Holdsworth, Sam Holdsworth & Rori"
One of my personal favorite guitarists of all time, a true innovator of fusion guitar.

I saw him once in a very small club in Eureka California more than 30 years ago. The best guitar player I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. A terrible loss to the world of music. Condolences to his family and friends.

Very sorry to hear of this news. Bundles is one of the top albums ever made, and he was a big reason why! RIP.

oh that is terrible news... didn't hear of anything health wise leading up to this. Raff mentioned to me hearing some word of him perhaps suffering from depression. RIP to one of the true greats.
