They're droppin' like flies, perhaps it's an age thing?

[jno]

Fletcher was only 60.

Well I hope it's not an age thing, Khandro....says Gness approaching 72 far too quickly. :-(

Saw this last night, didn't think to look for a dedicated thread.

Sad news, RIP Alan.

As a big fan of Yes, i despaired when Bill Bruford left to join King Crimson. However, he proved to be a more than able replacement and became a big influence in the band's music.
RIP, Alan White.

I scrolled through the AB topics list looking for the latest one which related to the war in Ukraine, & this is it, it seems to be sliding down the pages of the press websites too, I hope it isn't a sign of burgeoning 'compassion fatigue'.
Just to remind folk that perhaps the best site to keep up with events is;

banned in Russia (natch)
