Very sad. I still rate Good Omens as one of the best things I've ever read.

That makes me indescribably sad.  So much joy he brought me and my wife.  Such wit.  Such a brilliance with words and such a...- His renderings of flawed human beings were so hilarious and honest and compassionate, all at the same time.

Been reading Pratchett since I was a teenager, without doubt my favourite author. He will be sorely missed.
