Same. He also had a beautiful smile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Manohlive Posted April 10 Subscriber Share Posted April 10 Bobbie Nelson, sister of Willie. I had not heard this until now. Man, what a loss. I can't remember not seeing her at his side when he was playing with his band. She was really good. They'd trade off solos. It made me love them even more. Willie Nelson Was Always as Close to ‘Sister Bobbie’ as When She Held Him on Her Knee. I disagree but understand why people say it sucks to get older. I'm getting a really good dose right now.

Subscriber Manohlive Posted April 30 Subscriber Share Posted April 30 (edited) Naomi Judd passed away on the eve before her induction into the Country Music Hall Of Fame. I'm very bummed. I'd gladly walk across the desert with no shoes upon my feet; to share with you the last bite of bread I had to eat; I would swim out to save you in you sea of broken dreams; when all your hopes are sinking, let me show you what love means; Love can build a bridge; between your heart and mine; Love can build a bridge; don't you think it's time? - Love Can Build A Bridge She wrote that song, along with many other great ones.

Subscriber padawanbeck84 Posted May 19 Subscriber Share Posted May 19 The Greek musician and composer Vangelis (birth name Evangelis Papathanassiou) has died, aged 79 He is probably best known for his film soundtrack work, most notably the scores for Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner. Iconic scores that are instantly recognisable, but he also created a whole catalogue of electronic and synth work that had a huge impact on modern music. May he rest in peace. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61514850 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber dmway Posted May 27 Author Subscriber Share Posted May 27 (edited) Oh boy…please don’t let this year be like the 2015-2017 era, with respect to musicians passing on… R.I.P., Alan White, most famously the drummer for Yes. He also drummed at different times for both John Lennon and George Harrison before joining Yes. A truly tremendous musician and a very nice human being. When he was drumming with Yes bassist Chris Squire’s reunited pre-Yes band The Syn about 15 years ago, I got to meet him in person. Just a lovely person. He had had health difficulties for a few years now; I’m glad he’s no longer suffering. R.I.P., Alan. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-61600583 P.S. If you go to the band’s official website, you will see very nice tributes from lots of Yes members, both current and former - the site can take a while to load today from the increased traffic: https://www.yesworld.com Edited May 27 by dmway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber padawanbeck84 Posted June 6 Subscriber Share Posted June 6 And another loss... @dmway I fear this is getting as bad as 2016 Former Bon Jovi bass player Alec John Such has died, aged 70. He played a key role in forming the group, including bringing Richie Sambora on board. He was part of their line-up through their initial success through the 1980s, before retiring from the band in 1994. He also appeared with them in 2018 for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61701017 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
