Found dead in a Cardiff Hotel apparently. Only 24 hours from...

I very much doubt it! :p

Anyway, RIP, Gene - for some reason the only song I can think of is the duet with Marc Almond, "Something's Got A Hold Of My Heart", although he's probably done loads more...

Damn, Gene, the gent from the Wonder Stuff, Buddy Blue from US band The Beat Farmers, former CREEM journalist Rick Johnson (always had time for his sophmoric humour), all in the last day or so. RIP, and thanks for your music.

just what exactly are you saying here? the only thing i can make out is that bit about being ready to meet our maker.

Just why are you shouting?

p.s .just in case you need to know, the answer is yes.

I don't think he's shouting Ron. I think he's just related to Rocket Mick

nah rocket mixes his cases more often.

haven't started to shout yet 'but when i do you will hear me out there.. p.o.m.e's my arse....

Gene Pitney's family have been told it will take 3 days to make his coffin from Oak but only 24 hours from Balsa
