If it’s a hoax boogie then best to wipe your thread or change the title as I think this would be up there with the death of a family member for lots of us on here

His Twitter feed is showing the news.
Sad news. One of the few players I’ve seen where I walked out of a gig wondering how the hell he wrangled all those sounds out of his guitar.

Shitting Hell , if it’s a hoax Boogie then they’ve convinced a fair few newspapers.

Bollocks :-(

A few sites are claiming it’s a hoax and there’s nothing on the BBC news site so far. FFS. I’m really hoping it is a hoax.
