I arrived in London a day or two after he died and hadn't heard, and all over the place shops had put tributes spontaneously in their windows and we went to both an African show (King Sunny Ade) and some Arabic folk and hip-hop and a classical concert and he was remembered at all of them.
I met him a couple of times and he was almost embarrassed to be continually recognised when he really did see himself as a fan.
