Sad to hear it. Strangely enough he appears in a episode of 'Metal Evolution' on VH1 a few weeks ago I was watching.

He had a good ride and never lost the love of playing guitar.

I always remember Rory Gallagher giving high praise to Hubert Sumlin many years ago when most others were namechecking 'the usual suspects'. That's a respectable age to have reached and he certainly left his mark on the musical map as his legacy.

He WAS the roots for me. He had a helluva good run.
