Just spoke to him a couple of days ago! This is awful news.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another person remarked: &#8220;Phil was a lovely, kind and gentle soul who always had time for everyone. When I last saw him at We Will Rock You, it was a very hot day and he offered me a bottle of water from his car. It\u2019s little things like this that really sum him up &#8211; even though he was pretty much a celebrity himself, he was always humble, friendly and generous. Loved him.
