Jack Bruce was also a gifted songwriter & vocalist. I recommend some of his solo albums, too. Especially the early ones:
............................... 'Songs for a Taylor' (1969) & 'Things We Like' (1970) ... 
At least he has grown much older than for example Rory Gallagher - who died under similar circumstances (liver complications) at the age of 47.
I remember an interview with Jack Bruce in the Melody Maker or Mojo Magazine about 15 years ago:
Therein he spoke frankly about his long-time use of really hard drugs: daily shots of Heroin plus five bottles of Whisky every week over more than two decades, from the early seventies to the mid-nineties. After several withdrawal treatments he gave up the Heroin, sticking strictly to Alcohol only.
Bruce referred in this interview also to other presumed junkies in the Rock biz: calling for example Keith Richards a soft boy who quit with Heroin already after barely ten years, consuming stingily only three bottles of Whisky one week....
