This is a true blow. Shocking, shocking news. Universally loved by all who had interaction with him on any level.

Oh man, this is terrible. All I've ever read or heard about him is good things. Already I can see the out pouring of love right here. Just opened the internet this morning and this is the first thing I read. I'm sorry for his family and close friends. They must be in turmoil. Best to Gazza on his way to the better place.

I hope that one way or another he got to hear the unreleased part of the FFSO leak before his passing.

And I remember we owe him - among other things - the liberation of the SW outtakes/rough mixes a few years ago.
And didn't he post the rumoured Suresnes 2002 sessions for everyone to enjoy?

A classy chap for sure!

This is not what was supposed to happen.

The little Irish guy with the greatest personality was supposed to be with us forever.

Lost for words .

F*ck you life, will ya ?!

RIP Gary.

Sometimes I cry about you

A time of innocence, a time of confidences

This place is empty, so empty
So empty without you

For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it’s right
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before……..

What?? Oh no... so sad to hear that RIP Gazza

Only met Gary twice once during Licks tour at the Sticky Fingers in London and then in NYC in 2006 Great guy. Way too young. My thoughts and prayers to his family. He will be dearly missed. He was so knowledgeable

So sad to hear, I never had the honour to meet him but I always enjoyed his wonderful posts through the years.

Live Forever Mate

This is terribly sad news, especially as he appeared to be well and loving life during these last few weeks, attending some Bruce shows in Ireland.

I first met Gazza in Glasgow in 2006, and had the pleasure of hanging out with him in Lisbon and Madrid in 2007 along with a few others well known on this board. It was great to see him a few more times over the years, most recently I think at the Cabbage Patch in Twickenham in 2018.

Great memories of a great man.

Shocking news and I am in disbelief.

I never met Gazza but we did do one snail mail trade about 20 years ago. From his posts it seems we both first got into the Stones at the same time with the release of the TV advertised compilation Get Stoned in 1977.

I always loved his insightful, common sense posts about all sorts of topics. Although his posts reduced in recent years, it was great to read his contributions.

It was nice to see him namechecked in one of the official Rolling Stones books (maybe A Life On The Road?).

A true Stones fan legend has left the building!

RIP Gazza

RIP Gazza
Always enjoyed our chats and your posts
I’m off track down the hackney diamonds discussion YouTube that he was part of.

Terribly sad news. Condolences to his family and friends.

Safe travels, Gazza.

Does anyone have that picture of BV, Gazza, Vilhelm and Doug from IORR, Rocks Off, Nordic Stones Vikings and Shidoobee together? I reposted it back in 2012 but it appears Photo Bucket no longer has it.

mickijaggeroo I believe you have the original photo, could you please post it for us if you don't mind. Thanks.

I´ve been looking all morning for that picture, can´t find it...

Shocking news, and very sad.

I had the pleasure of knowing Gazza (and some of his best friends from Belfast who attended the gigs with him) well since 2003.

Met in Dublin prior to the Licks shows in September '03, and met him on many occasions in the years since. When I first met my now wife, Gazza and John (also sadly missed) made sure to host us in Belfast for an evening of drinking and music chat. Every year or two at gigs (Springsteen/Stones mainly) I'd meet Gaz.

He was such a generous soul. and such a welcoming presence. I could not believe seeing the messages this morning. Such a young age. Such a great man.

Gaz, if you can hear us, myself and Sachiyo and all of the Dublin crew you knew will miss you every day.

Oh no
Auch a great guy

RIP my friend

I really hate hearing this. Gary was always friendly and helpful. He made the world a better place!

This is shocking news unbelievable. This had darkened my day to hear this terrible news. I met my Gazza in Europe few years ago. What a nice man. I send my condolences to your family & friends. God bless. Til we meet again. Take care.

Very sad news.
R.I.P. Gazza.


A message from Linfield Football Club, Gazza was a supporter of this Northern Irish team :

Very sad news.

Only met him once (The Pilot Inn near to the O2 in 2007).

He seemed like a nice bloke.

RIP

The photo many are seeking was posted on Shidoobee.

Many thanks to SomeTorontoGirl for posting pix on behalf of the technologically challenged! They bring back some great memories.

Very sad news. Never met him personally, but I felt like I knew him through his posts on this site. Very knowledgeable. Through conversations, in addition to the Stones, we both shared a passion for Bruce and his music.
