This one really hit me, we've lost so many of the greats over these past few years that it's beyond ridiculous. It's only been a few days since I found out about Strahli too, which probably made the impact a little harder than it would've been otherwise.
As you said, he had some real fucking soul in his playing and style.

I've played Out in the Fields on the radio more than any other song by anyone. It's such a total and utter tune.

According to The Sun, GARY MOORE - who died in Estepona, Spain yesterday (February 6th) at the age of 58 - choked on his vomit after knocking back champagne and brandy.
The 58-year-old ex-THIN LIZZY star was discovered just before 4am by his girlfriend, unconscious in their Spanish hotel room.
Medics found him lying lifeless on his back wearing just his underpants.
An ambulance source said: "We believe the deceased had been drinking heavily."
A source at The Kempinski hotel on Spain's Costa del Sol - where suites cost up to £3,500 a night - said: "There were definite signs of alcohol in the room.
"His girlfriend was very distraught, in floods of tears."

Aye, "look at this guy choking on his own sick, if you listen to this music you will too!"
Scum of the fucking earth newspaper. And my Dad reads it :/
Tbf it was the emergency services who thought it looked like he had choked on his own vomit, which was understandable. Every news service reported this.
Also, the Mirror isn't a much better paper than the Sun.

I'm not defending the mirror, I hate most of the papers, NotW, Sun, Mirror, Sun.
Most of them are shit not to mention making shit up.
They rarely actually make stuff up, they just often portray the news in a biased light, and distort the truth.

Some sources are more reliable than others, that's for sure. Regardless dying at the age of 58 is not natural so the guy was obviously not healthy.
