Billy Powell, the only keyboardist Lynyrd Skynyrd ever had, died last night at his home near Jacksonville, Florida. He was 56. No cause of death has been announced, and a post on the official Synyrd Website reads, “A Great Loss — Beloved Pianist for the Lynyrd Skynyrd Band, Billy Powell, passed away last night. We will post more info shortly. The family and band request your respect and understanding during this difficult time. Thank you.” The band is canceling upcoming shows and directing fans to its Website for tour updates.

Major Author Dies
 
Philip Jose Farmer has passed away at age 91. Primarily known as a science fiction writer, he did write three horror novels. According to the Clute/Nicholls Encyclopedia of SF, IMAGE OF THE BEAST; BLOWN; and TRAITOR TO THE LIVING comprise the Exorcism trilogy. While not raising any eyebrows today, they were originally published as pornographic horror. Porn publisher Essex House commissioned them and published the first two. Ballantine Books published the third as science fiction. I read all three and think they're great. Recommended.

His Wode-Newton Universe was a big inspiration on Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sucks to hear he's gone.
