He was truly a 'Great Britain' and represented much of what I want this country to be. Such sad news

Rest in Power Benjamin!

Sad passing of a kind and passionate man.

Reading some of the tributes is a revelation to me as I have never seen most of his work. It appears he always had time for the ordinary person on the street and no time at all for those in power. His turning down an OBE and his reasoning behind doing that is completely understandable.

As others who knew him have said RIP (Rest in Power)

He will be sorely missed.

A great poet, writer and he could act too but above all else he came across as a truly genuine empathic human ..

Rip fella..

He did a great song with Bomb The Bass and Sinead O'Connor years ago called "Empire"
