He did pretty well considering he had a liver transplant in 2003.Quote

Very sad news, indeed. 71 is too young to die. Just bought The Best of Cream cd which I thoroughly enjoy. But for awhile, at least, I may not want to listen to it
I think you're confusing him with Ginger Baker![www.rollingstone.com]Quote

That's ironic that Mick Taylor played with him briefly because on Oct 11, 2013 in a Rolling Stone Magazine interview, Bruce said " I won't go within 10 miles of a Stones gig", going on to say the Stones were mediocre musicians...
I recall being so pissed off at Bruce for taking such pot shots at a band that has been filling stadiums for over 50 years and are obviously beloved. I never could understand why he said that. What was in it for him at that stage of his life, to be so unkind to ANY fellow musicians, let alone the Stones.
I wish that I hadn't read that interview because I loved his music. And I am sorry that he passed, especially at 71. Not that old by todays' standards. It is just that I can't put that interview out of my mind and with his passing, so many tributes by Stones fans...I wonder if Stones fans had read the interview and remembered his bitterness and bile that he aimed at our Boys would they be so generous in their tributes. I guess some will be more able to separate his monster talent from his unkind words.

The Allman Brothers paid a fitting tribute in their third to last show.

There was supposed to have been a Cream reunion tour either last year or this year. According to Bruce, they had all agreed to do it but then Baker did or said something to upset Clapton, so plans were cancelled.

Difficult to see how any recent attempt at a Cream reunion could have survived even the first rehearsal, once Eric got a good look at Ginger in his current condition.
