I can't say that I was a massive fan, but When Dove Cry is most certainly my favourite track of his that he sang, and then I have ones that I like that he wrote for other people too.
His passing at such a young age is sad, but what is worse is that I've heard it's linked to an OD :-(

I see becoming addicted to painkillers as different than someone addicted to heroine or crack or other illegal drugs.. When you are in pain its really easy to depend on painkillers, and you can easily forget that you just took a pain pill and then take too many & od.. His pain was, apparently, due to performing and jumping off in heels and how hard it was on his body, causing him to need hip surgery.. I wish so badly that he didnt do that, he was so amazing without having to do acrobatics, but i can see why he did, wanting to be the amazing performer people came to see.. it only takes one bad fall or landing to cause you pain for the rest of your life. I had a bad fall when i was 28 and it continues to be a major problem, sometimes very painful (but i refuse to take anything stronger than ibuprofen, although that can be bad if you take too much)..
I've lived with constant pain since I was 13. First it was exactly like being in full stage labour, but then I also got ME/CFS on top of that, I suffer chronic migraines that last for several days and several times a month, I have a condition in my chest that gives as much pain as a heart attack, I have trigeminal neuralgia, and I have shot knees and ankles and well as nerve damage in my back from riding tapped horses over the years. Due to another condition I can't actually take pain killers anymore, but I'd stopped taking them before I was told that as I realised that they weren't actually active anyway, and I have to have a crash team on stand by if I need a general. I do take some pills, like massive dosed of a drug that is actually for epilepsy as a preventative for the migraines, and because of how ME works I can also forget whether I've taken doses, or not. You get a pill box. It's a simple thing really, unless you're an addict, and then dosage doesn't actually matter anymore.
I of all people get pain, but you choose your poison regardless of what it is, and where it comes from. It's a very sad state however it happens, but what I notice is that it very often depends on whom the person is as to how people react to their addicts.
