Sad times again.

I saw him a couple of times sitting in with fusion bands. Always beyond amazing.

Another tragic loss, along with John Wetton recently (Both of whom played in U.K)

Holdsworth was amazing. Sad news indeed. I just recently bought both UK CDs (the studio albums) after not having them since vinyl days. What amazing music. "In the Dead Of Night" pushes every great prog rock button there is. Not to mention some of the other tunes.
