Didn't look good after recent reports, really sad news being such a young age RIP.

Johan Johannsson, musician. Aged 48.
His album Fordlandia was the soundtrack to both my boys as babies as part of their night time routine.
His soundtrack to Arrival was breathtaking, amongst others.
Big loss. RIP.

Morgan Tsvangarai. An heroic, decent man fighting against the murderous Mugabe for his country, Zimbabwe

Putting aside my inbuilt distrust of many of the ruling politicians in the African continent, there was a great deal to admire about Tsvangarai.
I'll never forget those interviews he gave for the cameras moments after one of his regular beatings from the Mugabe stooges. Face battered to a pulp, blood soaked shirt, eyes almost closed.
That took a lot of cojones.

He acquired respectability late in life .

During the 50s and 60s he was regarded as the Christian equivalent of a second hand car dealer.
