Perhaps I missed some of what he said. I'll have to listen again at some point. All I remembered was a brief mention of the Coldplay vid, at which point he didn't know Adam/MCA's name.

Ha, I saw Tim Vine say he'd 'dyed' on Twitter this morning and just assumed it was a joke. (His follow up tweet was also is it too Sassoon for jokes?)

That gets a very sad "oh no" from me. She was sexy and cool and made great records. Oh no.

Oh no. Her music career was before my time and I'd not heard much from her probably because of that, but I know what a legend she clearly was.
I just checked out the photos of her on Zimbio and there are some of her singing live just a few months ago - she looks gorgeous, you'd never guess she was in her 60s, and you'd certainly never guess she wasn't well.
This is a real shame.

This.

Like many others, I first saw Dunn in The Blues Brothers, which I was a massive fan of when I was young. I remember my mum videotaping it for me when it was on late at night, even though I was far too young to really be watching films with bad language in :D

I didn't even know Dunn had died until I put 6Music on on Sunday afternoon, and Huey Morgan played a wonderful half hour tribute to Dunn, playing songs he played bass on. You really don't realise how many big blues hits had Dunn playing bass in the background!

Listen to the Dunn tribute here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01hlfd1 it's about an hour in.

Couldn't resist posting Dunn's only line in the Blues Brothers :D

That really is sad news,esp after he seemed to be recovering from his recent bout of bad health and coming out his coma :( Another musical legend gone after Donna Summers. I really do hope that there wil be a Bee Gees song on the show tomorrow as a tribute.I k now its not 'target audience' but who cares!

And everyone else's nearly. For clarity's sake, Donna SUMMER is not the same as Donna SUMMERS. Everyone happy? Good.

RIP, and as Eugene Polley gave such a valuable tool to the world, people still dont know where the off button is, and continue to complain over such trivial things!

Apparently its a hoax. I was going to buy a Krispy Kreme Glazed donut in tribute but I'll cancel my plans now.
