Terrible news. Chilton was a major influence on my own songwriting when I was a musician, and on the way I looked at the world as a human being.

The Replacements probably summed it up best back in the 1980s:

"Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing "I'm in love. What's that so...ng?
I'm in love with that song.
I never travel far, without a little Big Star..."

And yes, I have always been an outlaw for love.


Safe travels, Alex, wherever you are - you will be sorely missed.
