Got this on the BA webboard today:

hi baddies,
i just wanted you all to know that one of my
dearest friends and co-writer Michael Kamen died
yesterday.

he was responsible for co-writing some of my
biggest songs with me, but most of all he was a
very sweet and talented man...and i will always
miss him.

i know some of his music touched you as it
touched me, so i wanted you all to know.
take care of yourselves.

Sad news... :( Michael did alot of great music with Bryan and on his own.... including the soundtrack for X-Men.

Talented indeed!
