This is so sad... Noel was the man.
He had it rough after he left Jimi.
I remember once he was on the Stern Show, and he mentioned that he sold his publishing rights to Satan (Reprise Records) for a 100K.
He never saw another penny after that! I mean it was mistake... but the powers at be should have thrown him a bone.
You know they've made their money back a million times over. The record business sucks ass! Inhuman vultures...
I hope he went peacefully...
