    Very sad. I'm surprised he was 71. I would have thought younger.

    RIP .. Hot Chocolate made some great singles, real pop masterpieces .. pancreatic cancer is one of the very worst cancers .. 71 is no age at all

    RIP. Remember pulling up along side him at the lights on ShootersHill Road in the late 70's - him in his Rolls and me in my £800 wreck. Cool dude.

    Oh no. My mate is the spitting image of him, gets mistaken for him all the time, he'll be very upset at this news. RIP Errol, great voice, good music and pleasant memories of a nicer time.

    A nice little belated tribute in the Times obituary column this week. In the 1990s in Esher, Errol was a keen bridge player, (but evidently not so good as his wife). Whenever he was successful with a declared bid, he would break into 'Everyone's a Winner', when he won a particularly difficult contract, he'd break into 'You Sexy Thing' much to the delight of his fellow players .. just a nice little story about what sounds like a very sociable and nice man who died far too young
