Just because we knew this was inevitable doesn't make it hurt any less.

Daevid and Planet Gong have been a huge influence on me since I was a teenager. It is very hard for me to swallow this as I feel as though I have lost a very close and dear friend. I have nothing but love in my heart for this man who came to this planet to spread the seeds of life,love and happiness to all who are fortunate enough to receive it. His Flying Teapot has arrived and will circle this earth spreading love, hope and happiness, Hope For Happiness until this old and tired planet calls it quits as well. He is a rare gem that is to be cherished and adorned. I am happy that he is at peace, I hope we can appreciate our own lives and "Never give a day away", take nothing for granted and take time to digest this gradually. "Shine On, Shine On Love, Shine On".......
RIP David Allen.

The other thread was not an "RIP" thread per se, though I've been reading every new post, hoping it would not end with this news. I will be listening to a lot of D. A. music and Gong music.
Ach... he left his mark, but it still hurts. At least his suffering has ended.
RIP Daevid.
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
Another timeless one gone.
RIP and live forever
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
Larger than life...
RIP Daevid Allen
Shine on.

RIP Daevid, thank you for everything hope you will have a good time on the sle of Everywhere
hat doffed. head bowed.
Sounds like it would be a relief to him after following the other thread for a while.
Very much a singular body of work which will only grow in mystique. RIP.
RIP Daevid Allen.
Now listening: Gong - Live Au Bataclan 1973
A friend, bandmate and inspiration. I'll treasure our time together until I join you. See you next time, pal.

I'm glad he's free from pain now.
But this is my biggest "rock loss" in a long, long while. You just can't replace someone like this, and you're not supposed to have to. One of a kind.
Hero.

A hero is gone. I'm proud to have shared my existence in this planet with him. Rest in peace, dear Alien.
Thank YOU for the music. Warmest wishes to you and you family x
RIP Daevid Allen. The outpouring of love for him from his friends, bandmates and fans this morning is a beautiful testament to his legacy.
Like others.. so glad our paths crossed although it only through his music.. Fond memories of several of his releases.. particularly Now Is The Happiest Time of Your Life.. came to me as a present from my brother at an interesting transition in my life.. Rest in Peace Daevid...

The Master Magick Brother has left, filled with love of so many others.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
So sad. But what a brave soul. Bon voyage.
