Sad news indeed. He was one of the highlights of the festival for me last year. Though it was obvious that he wasn't well, he put on a great performance. The man was a legend. RIP Bobby.

yeh really glad we got to see him last year, he didnt disappoint

[Dan R]

Just heard about this, terrible news!

Really was a legend R.I.P.

It was sad news to hear. It was a bit surreal to think a year before I'd been watching him.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They had a big RIP Bobby Womack sign up for a bit.

Sharon Jones did a dedication to him as well.

The news void that you enter at Glasto is amazing. I hadn't heard anything about this until now.

[Mr.Tease]

Heard about this while there and at first assumed it was just that made up death thing that used to be an annual thing at glastonbury (as I assume with Michael Jackson)- a real shame to find out it was real, almost a year to the day I saw him on the jazzworld stage.

He had Alzheimer's, so I suppose at least he was spared the horrific long term suffering that illness can cause.

Seen the "Bobby Womack RIP" thing on Holts and was like....he's not dead!?!

Hadn't heard anything about it until I got home and discovered the news. Very sad to hear, only seen him on that stage last year. RIP Bobby

[GlastoSimon]

I saw this on the screen at West Holts before Daptone and was very sad - regret the decision not to see him last year even more now.

Didn't Tom mention Bobby Womack a could of times in one song ( or is that then normal lyric - not a Kasabian expert)?

[Mr.Tease]

Billy Bragg did a cover of 'a change is gonna come' as a tribute

[Guest]

Was surreal and upsetting to read this in the paper on the closing day of Glastonbury, when only a year earlier I had watched him play the last slot on West Holts on the closing day. A true legend. RIP.

[Jules007]

Didn't find out til Monday. Had a great time watching him the year before :-) :-(

[glenman]

someone told me this on the early hours of sunday morning, thought it was just another glasto rumour, rest in peace, a truely talented man

[When Jokers Attack]

Only heard the news on the Sunday morning.

Sad to hear and I'm glad I got a chance to see him close the festival last year.

[Scotdy]

One of them just shouted 'Bobby Womack' before the start of one of their songs. I'd totally forgotten that moment but at the time thought it was a little disrespectful - why not say a few words, a simple 'rest in peace' or something.

[GlastoSimon]

They did say his name before the song and shoe-horned it in before a repeating line about greatness or something like that. I can't remember what the song was now, but I know at the time I thought it was a nice nod of respect

[Anarion]

Ah okay, that is a little better then! I can't have been all there, because I only remember them shouting 'Bobby Womack' before a start of a song without saying anything before or afterwards.
