Sad news. I truly regret never seeing him perform live.

Sad, not unexpected from what I have seen of him the last few years. He’ll be missed; he left us a lot of music to enjoy.

Here’s something I did not know, from wiki:

_Singer and actress [Tina Turner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_Turner) credits Shorter with saving her life. In Turner’s 2020 spiritual memoir [Happiness Becomes You](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_Becomes_You_(book)) , she states that Shorter and his wife Ana Maria provided Turner with critical refuge at their home for six months after Turner left her abusive husband, [Ike Turner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ike_Turner), in 1976_

Good “postscript” by Brody:
