Sad news. Saw him twice, in 2008 & 2009, few meters in front of me... wish it was 30 years earlier; great gigs though.

My friend saw him this past saturday. His footage -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGQOz7_cWbo

Johnny Winter was one of the world's finest blues/rock musicians. He
prevailed through some daunting challenges. He can never be replaced.

From Facebook:

Hello all,

My wife, Monique, and I are shocked at the suddenness of Johnny's passing, especially since I was so looking forward with such joy and anticipation to seeing him again and playing together. I know his body is departing this physical realm, but his presence, his music, and his spirit are undiminished, and alive as ever in my heart.
Johnny has always been, is now, and will forever remain my greatest musical hero of all time. But more than all that, he's my brother--in family, in music, in life and beyond. I will do my best to carry on in honor of his memory and the Winter name.

Blessings Peace & Love,
Edgar & Monique
