I was wondering how old he was. I knew he couldn't be too much older than me :(

From Wikipedia...

Miles died on February 26, 2008 at his home in Austin, Texas at the age of 60. A cause of death has yet to be announced, although his publicist Duane Lee told the New York Times that Miles had been suffering recently from congestive heart failure. There was a history of congestive heart failure in his family. His sister and mom both died of it.

There was no funeral. Buddy was cremated.

The day before Buddy died, he heard Eric Clapton playing Them Changes at Madison Square Garden through his cell phone. Them Changes is now part of Clapton's set on tour as tribute to Buddy.
