This was very sad to know, although I feel lucky to have met Johnny in Skagen last summer – what a wonderful singer and performer he was, just great! Rest in peace Johnny, “when you fly away”
A great entertainer, a wonderful performer and a lovely friendly man who gave my wife and I somme of the best music nights EVER.
You will be sorely missed.
RIP
We will all go eventually, but not many will be missed as much as Wor Johnny. He was warm, expansive and honourable. Cheers for all the good times, Johnny.
