Very sad news,

Had Billy been given the right break he could have been as big or bigger than Jerry Lee!

Very sad to hear this. Billy was really ill since a long time.
An other Sun legend is gone...
Rest In Peace

P.S. :
Sonny Burgess will be at Billy's support gig on august 30th.
I hope some Amreican members of the board will catch him. He is one of the last now.
