Damn, it is sad he had to go out like that. The good thing about music though is that it lives on forever.
True bro. Wish he had to stay longer
@sammiegold, Some people really called as Special because they came to this earth with Surprises and when someone is tagged as Special Child, after growing up they definitely show some great talent.
