Sadly, Ian passed away last week, after fighting Liver Cancer for many years.

He was as real hero of mine. Another diamond geezer. I remember laughing out loud when I turned over "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" to find "There Ain't 'Alf Been Some Clever Bastards."
Fancy saying you coined "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll"

I used to live not far from Cranham, where he lived and saw him around town a couple of times - never had the courage to go up and speak to him though. 8-(
He will be missed.

It's a real bummer when you miss an opportunity. I saw another hero of mine while visiting a friend in hospital. I decided that I would go up and say hello and he was really nice about it. I hadn't done that before and regretted missed opportunities.
I would of course advise stopping short of stalking!
