I will never be able to listen to " Brown Sugar" in the same way again. I loved Bobby! So glad I got the opportunity to meet him in Philly a few years ago...what a wonderful guy! I'll miss him but his legacy will live on, and certainly in STONES WORLD, he will remain in our collective hearts.

So very sorry to hear this.
Rest in peace.

Only just read this and cant believe it.

Had the pleasure of meeting him the once and wont ever forget his reply when i said to him, do you mind if i speak to you Bobby, he said do i owe you money, it still tickles me to this day.

Such a sad loss rip bOBBY

Thank you for all the soul and all the joy of your music.

Bobby and friends. Sad how many are no longer with us!

Wow, I just listened to Brown Sugar a couple of days ago for the first time in forever. Such a shame!

RIP.

Sadder still that war is still not over, even if we want it.

A very sad day for music. Brown Sugar will never sound that way again. Deep condolences to his friends and family. RIP Great Man!

sorry to hear that bobby was a great man

He played like a master to the very end.

We lost a great one today.

Gutted.

R.I.P. Mr Keys

Closest I've ever come to shaking hands with an actual Rolling Stone... Such a nice guy as he greeted fans backstage at a festival in Houston..

Asked him when the next tour was going to be (right before the announced 5o and counting tour) and he replied "Just waitin' on the call, man..Just waitin' on the call..."

Gotta ne particularly unsettling and sad for Keith as the shared the exact same birthday and his "largest pal"..

Sad sad sad.

RIP Mr Keys

wow in shock.

very sad...rest in peace Bobby

A true Rolling Stone passed away.

RIP Bobby Keys.

R.I.P. Bobby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no ! I keep meaning to buy his solo album, that he recorded in 1972.

Naturally, I love his Stones recordings, but for me the essence of Bobby is that sax on Whatever Gets You Thru The Night by John Lennon. It's on a par with Brown Sugar.

'Nother Good Bye to Another Ole Friend!
Ain't a Dry Eye in the House!
(He'd want us to be)
Laughin' n Singin'
R.I.P! Bobby!

An incredible shot to the gut hearing this news. RIP Bobby.

So sad....RIP

There are sidemen and then there was Bobby Keys. A man whose shadow loomed large over The Rolling Stones especially during their development from a singles oriented chart band to the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world.

RIP Bobby for you will be truly missed by very many people. And thank you for all the great sax playing over the years.

Very sad - I´m always shocked how suddenly someone just fades away, although one knows it`ll happen some day... RIP Bobby Keys

And Johnny Winter in july... *sigh*... RIP Bobby!

Will be sadly missed, his Sax on Brown Sugar will never be forgotton and his brilliant tenor sax on "Had Me a Real Good Time" on the Faces LP Long Player. sums up how he was the best.

RIP Bobby

So sad. RIP, Bobby.

From Keith Richards Twitter:


"Another good bye to another good friend" I will miss you, Bobby.

Last year I heard the same thing! ><

R.I.P Bobby. You were an integral component of the Stones sound and will be for the rest of time. You may have left us but the your contribution to music never will. Thank you for music Bobby.
