The news that had to come one day, but its still too soon. Goodbye Alan, and thank you for forming my musical taste with your legendary "Saturday Rock Show".

Great memories...I am truly sorry that you are gone.

Sad news indeed. RIP Alan, we will not forget you.

Quote from Tim Blackmore, Fluff's personal manager, on Yahoo this morning :

"We will not see his like again, and our debt in response to his contribution is without equal."

Says it all, really.

Keith Emerson and Greg Lake words about this lost. I like their way of writing. Very nice message.

Alan Freeman, John Peel, Tommy Vance... there's a new holy trinity up there.

Sleep well, Alan

Nicky Horne has a rock show on Planet Rock on digital radio.  I think he's on every weekday afternoon.  You can listen to him online too.
