Steve Harley RIP

[Redmires]

Sad news. I had tickets for his tour in May as well. The tour was postponed due to his health and optimistically rescheduled for next year.

Sad news. I saw him at a free concert back in 2011 and he was much better than I'd anticipated.

Very sad indeed.....One of the greatest songs ever that ha stood the test of time..... what I didnt know was this...

The original band was made up of Harley, Jean-Paul Crocker, drummer Stuart Elliott, bassist Paul Jeffreys and guitarist Nick Jones.

Jeffreys and his wife Rachael were killed on the way to their honeymoon in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing while on board Pan Am Flight 103.
