I had the privilege of seeing him at the mariposa folk festival last year. It was a surprise because he wasn’t on the lineup, but he was there accepting an award. I was pretty much in tears at the end of his performance.
The planet is definitely a bit emptier without him, but his music will help to fill the void as long as we continue to listen.
At one point they also blocked an ambulance which resulted in a death. Not to mention this was happening during covid lockdown which I’m sure did not help stop the spread.
