Folk singer and guitarist John Martyn died today after his car collided with particularly solid air.
Apparently he was holding a London conversation on his cell whilst looking out over Primrose Hill to observe the gathering storm rather than keeping his eyes on the road.
A spokesman for the UK traffic police said:
"It just goes to show that driving without due care and attention is a road to ruin."
A spokesman for fellow dead musician Nick Drake said:
"Nick will be with John now so that when they lie him down he has a hand to hold"
UnNews' celebrity reporter Blaze Flashtart caught up with the ghost of the not yet dead Keith Richards who said:
"I used to love getting really fucked up with John Martyn"
