RIP Reg, I liked the Troggs!
And the World of Crop Circles will be a poorer place without him :o(

His most famous composition is "Love Is All Around". Wet Wet Wet's 1994 cover stayed at No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart for fifteen weeks. Presley used his royalties from that cover to fund his research into crop circles and outlined his findings in a book, Wild Things They Don't Tell Us, published in October 2002.[1]

Very sad - The Troggs were an archetypal punk band - Iggy Pop name-checks Reg's rough vocal as a major influence.

That is sad to hear, rest in peace Reg.
