since poured in for the singer<\/a>, with many recalling fond memories of the band.<\/p>\nWriting on the band’s Facebook post, Andy Hunter said: “This is so sad man. I remember seeing you live at the 02 in Liverpool about 12 to 13 years ago and Andy was diving into the audience, it was one of the best and wildest gigs I\u2019ve ever been to.<\/p>\n
“Can\u2019t comprehend this news. RIP Andy lad, your music will live on.”<\/p>\n
Marc Warren added: “This is deeply upsetting, I had the pleasure of meeting Andy a couple of times during the Sound of Guns tours (Cambridge & Peterborough).”<\/p>\n
Janet Young wrote: “A born rockstar with the biggest heart but most of all a true friend. So many memories, What came from fire helped me through probably the toughest time in my life. Peace and Love.”<\/p>\n
Sarah Taylor said: “I’m truly gutted. Andy was such a showman with such an energy and presence he ignited the room. Some of the best nights ever seeing you guys and I will never forget the after show beers backstage the last time I saw you at the Hare and Hounds.<\/p>\n
“Still The Words was the first song I ever heard and will hold a special place although more deeply now. Love to you all and Andy’s family, thoughts and prayers with you all.”<\/p>\n
