Incredibly sad news about Mensi, my thoughts are with his family and friends. I always admired him, he was a man of great principles and an inspiration to us all who were fighting for a better world. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten. See you later mate. Steve

It's with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that Bob Butler died this morning. We worked together in Schwarzeneggar and The Last Supper, but more than a work mate he was a true friend, a bloody good bass player, a bloody good bloke and I shall bloody well miss him.

I'm absolutely gutted to tell you that a very dear friend of mine, Mark Pickstone, died last night. He was the keyboard player in Schwarzeneggar. Mark was a gentle and caring giant who I loved very much and I shall miss him greatly. My thoughts go to his wife and family.
