Died of an heart attack. First thing I'm gonna do tomorrow is play Alex Chilton by The Replacements on Rock Band.

While children by the million never really sang for Alex Chilton when he come round his fans loved his music with the passion of a million fans.

[Ultimatum]

Yeah, really sad news, he was one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

[ArchangelZero]

RIP to a very great man.

RIP.

This really is sad news. He was a great musician and died too early. Too bad most people here probably don't know who he really is other than the fact there is a song in RB named after him.

I'd be willing to bet that you would meet more folk in these parts who know who he is than you would meet walking down the street..

Totally man. It was a big bummer to wake up to this morning. 59 isn't even that old in the grand scheme of things.

RIP Alex Chilton :(

A legend...

[Wolfbeckett]

Ah man sucky, sucky. Don't even know what else to say, he was one of the good ones.

[californication]

His music lives on. He most likely gained a lot of new fans from that song in Rock Band.
