...so sad to hear that !!! Saw him this year in Berlin and Duesseldorf... unbelievable that he's gone! We should play his music loud today...

...still shocked, Daniel

The best gift a stranger can give you is the gift of music. Thanks Bobby for all the great gifts you have given me.

So So Sad to hear this !
I´ve just blasted "Brown Sugar" all over the neighbourhood -
and no police yet ! !
My deepest thoughts to his loved ones ! ! !
BK ! - you will be so missed !
- but at least I feel secure, that they "up there" - will know
which instrument to give you ! - and it won´t be the harp !
Please just Play On - and On ! - and what a legacy !
RIP Bobby ! ! !

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

RIP Bobby, unfortunately Sam Cutler had warned us recently, Bobby's "looking forward to joining the Stones on the next leg" was a last hurrah of sorts then.

By coincidence I was listening to Godfather's Paris 2014 CDs this morning and remembering the thrill of Bobby's deep tenor honking away on Bitch...think I took that pic right at about that time :



I read his book last earlier this year, a great read, and I got a better appreciation of the man and musician.

What a sad news!
RIP Bobby

Had the pleasure of meeting Bobby a number of times
over the years...the last being the Suffering Bastards
Melbourne show back in March of this year ... Bobby was always
the pure gentleman and warm, friendly,funny and had that certain
twinkle in the eye.......Thanks for all the music....... gonna miss you.

I can only echo all the sentiments expressed already on here. His solos were always a highlight of shows and he'll be greatly missed. Am sure kahoosier will be joining me in recalling the entertaining night in Budapest when we somehow ended up with just him and an old pal of his in a bar. RIP, Bobby. Such sad news.

RIP Bobby !

Much respect to Bobby for never dishing out the dirt in his many interviews and book. He obviously had plenty of tawdry and incriminating tales he could have told but he always took the classy high ground and kept his focus on the music. A gentleman to the end.

Excellent photo by Bjornulf on the main page, just beautiful. peace

While promoting his book, Bobby Keys recently related a hilarious anecdote of when John Lennon arranged to have him play on a recording of Yoko's: "her music, yes indee-dee"....

Wonderful to hear Bobby talking about his experiences:

I saw him 15x with The Rolling Stones.

RIP Bobby Keys

I almost fell out of bed when I saw the news!

Shocked!

How sad! Goodbye Bobby! Thank you for the GREAT music you made!

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

May the cosmos be able to handle the majesty of Bobby Keys. Sail on, horn man

THANKS, Bobby, for lots of great memories, both in concert and on records.

RIP.

bad sad news


Bobby, thank you for all the years you brought the right music to me.

The term "Southern Gentleman" is not just a cliche.

man this is sad news

when I was in Macau he walked past me,did not have time to take a picture.

Feel The Fear
And Do It Anyway

It's wonderful that Brown Sugar has a sax solo instead of a guitar solo. It's just perfect.

I always loved the fact that Bobby Keys "rooted" the Rolling Stones all the way back to the 1950s and Buddy Holly and the Crickets. There was something profound about that to me.

Thanks Bobby for the great life!

Awful, awful news; I'm heartbroken to hear this.

Setting aside his genius on the sax, Bobby was such a wonderful man, full of love and light.

Now God gets to watch him play, I suppose.

RIP Bobby, and thank you so much for all the joy you've given.

Another reason to love Brian Williams: people like Bobby Keys would most likely not get their own segment on the Nightly News. Williams is a lover of rock to make sure he gets some time there.

Wow, this news really knocked the wind out of me. I just assumed he would always be around, like I assume that the Stones would always be around.

Very sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Bobby

Thanks for all the great times and great music.
