bitflipper Posted May 2, 2024 Share Posted May 2, 2024 Everybody's got a gig horror story, but it's gotta be especially embarrassing when you're international superstars playing the first gig of a tour to promote your latest album. In a 15,000-seat arena. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted May 2, 2024 Author Share Posted May 2, 2024 So I just heard he died in 2008. On the bright side, he lived considerably longer than Keith Moon. Come to think of it, all of us here can claim that accomplishment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
