No age at all - I wonder how much his heroin addiction played a part in pancreatic cancer. He did seem to get the bum deal of the Morrissey being and arse and Marr being an arse in crime.
Addiction meant he had to settle for the best part of fuck all.

A lot of them were financially shafted by management/hangers on. Leonard Cohen was only one example. Bop 'til ya drop for them. I dunno about Lightfoot,or how canny he was with money,maybe he was just addicted to the show,that often lingers regardless of age or remaining ability.
Case in point... hilarious Rolling Stones video of Jagger dancing with the sound track removed & other members of the band looking at him like "You fucking plonker".
Jagger looks like a bell end full stop.
Like Simon LeBon and Bob Geldof , he has a complete inability to dance in time with the beat.

Turns out Harris died on the 10th of May and has already been laid to rest. Strange, but I suppose it denied a baying mob its hour?
Seems like a good decision to keep away the gorpers, the Red Tops, and the vigilante types wanting 5 mins of fame.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"

"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."
I've got a lovely memory of attempting to recreate a sequence from Miami Vice in a boat at sunset with What's Love Got to Do with It on the stereo. Grateful for the memory & listening to it again now.
His book was brilliant.
