ledded1 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I have just heard on the radio that John Martyn died today. He was 60 and was awarded an OBE recently. He had had problems with his diabetes for years and had a leg amputation a few years ago now. I managed to see him a few times over the years. Sad news indeed. Quote
