Always seemed like one of the more fun and good natured music stars out there.

young enough by today’s standards,
I hope his soul is singing somewhere,
rest in peace.
I was lucky enough too see him twice, would be in my top ten of live gigs I have seen, absolutely brilliant!.
RIP and thanks for the memories!!!
I never got to see him, but a friend told me a story about one of his shows. Said that just before the show started Mr Loaf came out disguised as a roadie sweeping the stage or whatever and no one in the audience copped it.
He then did a big reveal as the lights went down.
A great man for the theatrics.
RIP
Picturing him screaming across the heavens on a Harley Davidson!
Legend.
RIP.
RIP Marvin Lee Aday.
he had some set of pipes, in fairness.
might be an idea for today’s competition; songs featuring heaven or hell. assuming of course that it hasn’t been done before.
ahem.
Met him a couple of times.
Eye-watering vice-like grip of a handshake with a twinkle in his eye and a laugh that rumbled up deep from a belly that actually didn’t look that big in real life in his later years.
Lovely thoughtful man.
Hope he’s in eternal paradise by the dashboard light.
Walter Mitty in overdrive.
You’ve heard about the time he played the community centre in Moate, haven’t you?

“In any case, it seems the Moate concert was a loud one. In a notes item published in the Westmeath Independent, Moate Macra na Feirme reported on a meeting two nights after the concert, and stated that most of the members had “regained their hearing and were able to participate fully in the meeting”.

Oh i enjoyed that tremendously OB … bravo !
Brilliant :)
I only remember him from FightClub. Fantastic role and actor.
‘his name was robert paulson’
Trouble is, now we’ll NEVER know what he wouldn’t do for love …
if you’d listen to the song, he tells you EXACTLY what he won’t do for love.
but that’s you all over.
He won’t use the tradesman’s entrance, sexually speaking.
Heh,heh,heh.
Papi-esque …
he absolutely would have, you know.
in fact, not even you would have been safe, bodger..
Crikey.
Big fan of all things Frilly
In fairness
RIP
Yes I did have the LP, probably a Confirmation present
‘might even be up in the attic
But his duet with Cher would for sure be on my 100 playlist
Definitely gets me joining in anyway

I have this mad memory of seeing him in the Highland in Newmarket
Otis Blue? Could that be right?
Late 80s
Or maybe one of the Wheelies festivals?
Anyone
