The news of his demise was announced through a statement released on a fan website, “procolharum.com”, according to CNN. The statement made it known to whom it may concern that the musician had actually been undergoing cancer treatment but “died peacefully at home” on Saturday, February 19th.
“Gary’s voice and piano were the single defining constant of Procol’s fifty-year international concert career. Without any stage antics or other gimmicks he was invariably the most watchable musician in the show,” the statement read.
