I'm gutted. RIP to Charles Bradley. We tried so hard to see you at SXSW but we couldn't find our way to the venue and were too late. We played you at our wedding. You had a face and voice that just transmitted pure emotion and I will always be sad I didn't get to see it live. The Daptone soul revival was one of the most joyful mini-movements of music I have ever seen. With you and Sharon gone it feels officially over...

In early September, Bradley was forced to cancel all of his upcoming tour dates following a second bout of cancer that made performaning difficult. With 37 dates scheduled through the end of the year, Bradley's spokesperson said the singer felt run down during recent shows. A year after a stomach cancer diagnosis, doctors informed Bradley that his cancer had spread to his liver, though it had not returned to his stomach.
Bradley, who drew comparisons to James Brown thanks to his excitable stage persona, died in Brooklyn surrounded by family and friends, as well as members of bands he had worked with.
