[Livia]

Though he hasn't posted here much lately, he has been "the constant in my life" for 28 years. He is the one responsible for me being a mega fan of FM and Stevie. When we first met, he gave me many Stevie mix tapes, interviews and bootlegs. I still have all of them.

Apparently, Bruce passed peacefully in his sleep. I was given the news Tuesday morning (after having several voicemails and text messages left for me between 2 AM and 8:30 AM yesterday).

I know many of you were fortunate to have met Bruce in person, so you know what a sweet and funny person he was, an absolute joy to be around.

I am beyond devastated...
