He's a pop star from the 80s, so i'd say yes!

He did a George Michael before George Michael.

I think he bought a Ferrari but could only drive it up and down his driveway as he had no licence.

I'm 64 & have no fucking clue who they are/were

Very sad to see the last of an era go but 105 is a great age
And many of his colleagues would have been happy to get to 25!

I am not too sure the modern youth understand what these guys sacrificed

The last of the few.

Eddie Jordon.

Sad news - he'd been doing a podcast with David Coulthard up until recently - it was entertaining stuff.

I'd wondered if things had got worse a week or so ago when he released episode, surprisingly, with Damon Hill instead (I happened to meet David Coulthard at a party in Ealing in 1994 and asked him what he thought of Damon - he just said "he's a c**t").

I love the way he came out of retirement to raise money to help kids.
He was a good man

Great and charitable man and one of the hardest hitting men ever to grace a boxing ring.
RIP big man!

The way he turned his life around after the Ali fight was incredible, coming back and winning the title at 45 is still incredible. Great friends with Ali in later life too. He always seemed a slow puncher, but the power......
