They don't say what sort of cancer got him but since he smoked for so many years, my attitude for decades has been oh look, he's still here, well that's good. I took notice of him when he did the three albums with Fripp and Eno, then started to like a lot of his other work too. Somehow after Scary Monsters though, I just didn't relate to the music. His line about being a closet heterosexual is pretty good, you must admit.
