That's really too bad. I don't know all that much about him except that I really enjoyed Blood Visions.

I had just unfriended him on facebook because all he was talking about was drugs and food related debauchery.  Weird and sad and horrible.  Those two singles collections are some of my favorite music of all time.

Really sad to hear this.  I got to see him earlier this fall and it was the most fun I've had at a show in a really long time.  He had so many more great records left in him.

A bunch of great songs and a monumental achievement in rocking with Blood Visions.  Really depressing.

He played for free at Stuyvesant Village over the summer. Outdoors, half-filled with fans and Stuy residents. He had tremendous energy as he blasted out song after song barely swallowing the Red Bull he was chugging in between. It was a great experience - one that I did not think would be the last.

This is really sad. He was truly great and I was a fan for a long time. Positive thoughts/prayers/energy to his family and friends.

I saw him play in Chicago, and he shook people's hands up toward the front after his set. I liked that.

Rest in peace.

Awful. Just awful. Almost no words.

He was just getting started. Can you imagine what he would have done with the next ten years? Even the next five?


And, if it was drugs: Fuck you, drugs. Seriously. Just fuck you.

Truly one of my favorite musicians.  I loved his music since the first time I heard Teenage Hate.

This is awful.

He may be gone, but his musical contributions will endure.

RIP

So sad- selfishly, I'm wishing I had managed to see him play (it just never worked out with dates/locations, I guess).

Man, this is so sad. I'm really glad I got to see him when he came through Seattle doing in-stores a few months ago-- he wasn't feeling very well for the first show he did, but the show the next day was amazing.

My office has had a Teddy Pendergrass CD playing all day. I only wish they'd switch it out for Blood Visions.

Him and Jay are both jamming up in heaven now. Just hopefully not together, cause that would sound awful.
