There was a very nice obituary in The Guardian, and this is very sad news.

RIP - the loss of a great talent and a beautiful voice.

He did not die (THANK GOD). YOU SCARED THE sh*t OUT OF ME! I'D RIP OUT YOUR GUTS IF I COULD! Andy is just ill, and his state is currently getting much better! Do not speak of him like he is dead!
 
phew, I really was shocked by this uncofirmed news (Latimer's death)...
Regarding Woolfson, it's a terribly sad news indeed, a talented musician he was and hopefully his memory will remain...

He has made such good things musically with APP... That's sad.

Incredibly sad, one of the trilogy of Alan Parsons Project genius has gone before his time.
 
Rest in Peace Eric.

Rick Wright and Eric Woolfson are two great losses this year. Both their passings ensure I will never get to see two of my most-favourite bands (PF and APP) in full reunion.

Rest in peace Eric. hope you finally find your ammonia avenue up there.

Sad news: TAPP was a very special part of my early years as music appreciator and collector.

A Youtube video like this can be a proper tribute to his memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZlfC4LVRY

Sad news, he was a great composer and singer and without him APP was never the same.

Have to say that The Eye in the Sky is one of those songs i never get tired of listen.
