Just found out that blues guitarist Son Seals has died of diabetes related complications at age 62. Interestingly it says he's survived by 14(!) children. He must have been rather busy with the ladies over the years.

Another musician who died this week was British saxophonist Dick Hecktall-Smith, who played with various members of the British music scene. He must have been an amazingly tough guy given the number of health problems he managed to survive over years before cancer finally killed him.
