The Glaswegian musical was taken ill after the show and died in hospital today. Alabama 3 harmonica player Nick Reynolds told Sky News: “Jake was a great raconteur and wit - he could bring the house down with an acid quip. An intellectual polymath, he would call my dad [Bruce Reynolds] and they would speak for hours bouncing from [Jean] Genet to [Edgar Rice] Burroughs, Russell or [Federico] Fellini, to [Eddie] Merckx or [Fausto] Coppi. We’ve lost a truly great and unique frontman, his disciples have lost their favourite minister,” he added. “RIP Jake, gone but never forgotten.”All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
