Knew he had been unwell following a transplant but still a shock.
A constant prescence on my turntable\Ipod since discovering Transformer in 1974. The Velvets were a great and highly influential band. The first three albums still sound fresh today.
The Velvets were brilliant, so much better than anything around today. Still have the double album on vinyl. It has been a bad year for my rock heroes: Lou Reed, JJ Cale and Kevin Ayers.
Very, very sad. So talented. He certainly led his life on the wild side though. Just listen to the White Heat, White Light album and that will tell you a lot. :-) The track Sister Ray is something else. Great album. RIP Lou
One of the true greats. An innovator, a seeker of truth, absolutely brilliant. Along with Zappa and Beefheart a fearless artist who did it the way they wanted. RIP Lou. And thank you.
