R.I.P's

Having not updated this blog in a while meant I missed out on these.

The last couple of years have been really bad for the deaths of musicians I grew up with :(
In the last couple of months we've lost David Bowie, Lemmy and Phil from Motorhead, John Bradbury and Rico Rodriguez from the Specials, Dale Griffin (Mott), Glenn Frey (Eagles), Colin Vearcombe (Black), Guru Josh. Last year we lost Natalie Cole, Steve Strange, BB King, Ben E King, Errol Brown (Hot Chocolate), Percy Sledge, Chris Squire (Yes) and many more.
Also DJ's Ed Stewart and Terry Wogan plus Cilla Black.
As I write this I've just heard Earth Wind and Fire frontman Maurice White has gone too.

Makes you worry for a few reaching those advanced years.
Although I think The Rolling Stones are all still fine (pickled and preserved)? :)
