Tributes galore for sixities pop idol Adam Faith who died of a heart attack this weekend. Fellow 60s pop star Cilla Black told reporters she was "shocked and saddened" at the news: "Adam Faith was a pioneer in pop music and a great actor. My thoughts are with his wife and daughter at this difficult time." Tony Blackburn described Faith as a kind and genuine person - and "a bit of a workaholic" - "He just put everything he had into what he was doing at the time. But the main thing I remember about him more than anything else is he was just so nice. There was no ego there. He was the most friendly person I think I have ever known."
The pop star turned actor turned business man's agent Alan Field said: "Adam was one of the best communicators that I ever knew. It could be a taxi driver in the street or a member of royalty - he was able to communicate with everybody at every level and he was respected and loved by them all. He came through in the pioneering days of pop music and really was a big icon along with Cliff Richard - they were the first wave of the British version of the pop music world."
