Hearing the terribly sad news at the sudden passing of Taylor Hawkins, the legendary drummer of Foo Fighters, aged just 50…..RIP
Firstly I would like to thank everyone for listening to my shows earlier this year and I am considering another series in 2022.
In the meantime I would like to wish everyone, including all of my special guests, a very Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year.
I’m sure many of you will be saddened by the news of Jeff LaBar’s death today, aged just 58. Jeff was the long time lead guitarist with glam metal band Cinderella. Our thoughts are with his family at this time. RIP
