    Wow. Hate that. 80 still isn't super old nowadays but...50 years of hard living will do it to you I guess.

    Don't know his lifestyle habits but even being in good shape the touring and hours are probably a bear.

    I've been down all day after hearing this news. He was a great guy and a fine gentleman. If you live to eighty in the music business, you've done something right. R.I.P. Charlie.
