Thank you very much. I was hoping everyone was wrong when they sent me all those messages telling me he'd passed away. I froze and I just didn't care about anything else. I just felt so awful about the fact this man, who has been such a big part of my life for so long, was no longer around.
I know this is what he would have wanted, though. Everybody close to him said that he fought very hard and wanted to live, but he turned his death into a work of art, and his latest album was a parting gift for all of us. I miss him terribly, though. I cried all night long, but I think I've cried so much now that I can't physically start tearing up again. I'm more depressed about it now, than anything else.
