[Roundyfield]

Seemed like a good man, a great songwriter, and a real character. He left his mark.

Painted pictures in your mind with his lyrics.

Genuine RIP.

 

[TheRebelRoar]

A legend. His gig down the Marquee was great. RIP

Spot on Fed.
"Sunday Morning Comin Down" created a superbly graphic image of the life of a drunk.
"The beer I had for breakfast tasted good, so I had one more for dessert". Classic line imo.
His "Me & Bobby McGee" is my favourite version of the song.
Rest In Peace Kris.

 

[The Duke]

Genuinely sad at this news. He lived a full life, lived to a great age and was celebrated while he was alive to appreciate it. What more could anyone ask really. He was a true polymath.

RIP Kris

The gentleness and care he showed towards Sinead O Connor as she was being booed on stage epitomised his character.

 

[The Banker]

To get to 88 despite the abuse to his body was an achievement in itself.

A big musical loss, a wonderful songwriter with a unqiue voice. Some of his songs really did help me make it through the night.
