I am utterly devastated. Very rarely has anybody's music truly touched me. Martyn's music may never have set the world on fire but it some of the most searingly honest and emotional music that I have ever heard. A man who lived life to the absolute full and who has battled drug addiction and alcoholism, yet never hid the fact or admitted weakness.

The singer, who took to performing in a wheelchair, told Q Magazine he had no regrets.

"If I could control myself more, I think the music would be much less interesting," he said.

"I'd probably be a great deal richer but I'd have had far less fun and I'd be making really dull music."

May you rest in peace big man. I feel as though I have lost a friend.
