Why is everybody on my Facebook page writing that ? Anyone heard the same thing ?
After I read that I searched on twitter and saw you near the top of the list with a "Gil Scott Heron RIP", why are you adding to all of this if you're not even sure yourself?

Because now I know where these bad news come from. Victor Kiswell apparently has a friend who was with Heron in his last moments. And I trust him.
what's very sad to me is that he was uniquely gil scott but he somehow embodied a certain sort man of his time, a tribe i used to see around a lot as a kid, now mostly gone. he was terribly young to have died. i feel lucky to have seen him play when he was doing ok in the mid early 90's and he had a brief residency at the old spot wetlands, i snuck in and caught 3 powerful shows.
RIP slim

Surely due, as the man would admit. But never will be good news.

Anyone can change a wikipedia page. I REALLY hope this is not true. I will not believe it until the AP News picks up the story.
It's on NPR:

Peace at last.
