Heartbreaking to hear of Ebow from @ForeignBeggars passing
Such a kind, gentle soul. Last time I saw him at @YUAFOfficial event he was helping kids get on track with their lives.

Ebow from @ForeignBeggars passed away yesterday.

There is so much of the world I wouldn't have experienced if it wasn't for him, SO much style oozing from his existence it hurts to think about. 

He is an absolute icon of British music,
A creative gravity that affected us all.
