Bob Dylan feeling 'lonesome' after death of contemporaries

Legendary singer Boy Dylan says he feels lonely after the demise of legendary figures like Muhammad Ali, Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell and Merle Haggard.
In an interview published on Dylan's website the "Blowin' in the Wind" singer reminisced about friends and contemporaries he had recently lost.
"We were like brothers; we lived on the same street and they all left empty spaces where they used to stand. It's lonesome without them," Dylan says.
Ali's death after a long battle with Parkinson's disease hit the rock legend particularly hard, as after his passing last June he released a statement paying tribute to the boxer.

"If the measure of greatness is to gladden the heart of every human being on the face of the earth, then he truly was the greatest. In every way he was the bravest, the kindest and the most excellent of men," Dylan's statement read.
