British singer/songwriter John Martyn has been found dead, aged 60.
A cause of death is yet to be determined for the Scottish musician with only the following message being left on his official website: “With heavy heart and an unbearable sense of loss we must announce that John died this morning.”
The celebrated songwriter collaborated with Dave Gilmour, Eric Clapton and Phil Collins amongst others on his 20 studio albums and was awarded an OBE in the last new year’s honours list.

Davey Graham , and now John Martyn , either i´m getting older or somethings just not right , God bless them both , my sympathy to their families and friends .
One of music’s real characters – slàinte mhath wherever you are John.
A one off. Solid Air: a milestone in British music. A down to earth guy with more talent in his pinky than all the Lily Allens put together.
impossible to express the loss.
Impossible to comprehend how your site could sensationalise the news with that crappy headline and such lack of respect for a true musical innovator
John died in hospital, near his home in Ireland you headline grabbing waste of space.
A massive loss. A truly great song-writer and artist, he’ll be sadly missed.
sad news about john shine on…say hello to the others…….
my heart is crying. Goodbye John, forever tanks
An umbearable loss.
I’ll miss you, dear friend

Really sad news about John Martyn, last saw him live at Fairport Convention’s Cropredy festival in 2007 and he was excellent. He will be sadly missed, R.I.P. condolancies to his family and friends.

may you finally be at rest and your god(s) now take care of you.
from seeing you in 1973 on O.G.W.T. with that echoplex and that voice- you made a big impression on me.
Solid Air – now go and see Nick Drake again after all those years apart.
I will never forget you and your music.
a TRUE genius and real talent unlike most of todays wannabe,s.
rest in peace at last john.
Fantastic artist with a song for every mood. R.I.P
