I've just been watching the news about this.
His manager said he would never walk past a fan, always stopped for a chat and to sign autographs, sometimes he'd be there for hours.
If a fan came up to him in a bar and asked if he could buy him a drink, he always said 'no, but I'll buy you one.
Then he would have a drink with the fan and chat like they were old friends.
A great guy lost by the sound of it, RIP
Sounds like a down to earth kind of guy!
