Comped 530 Posted January 6 As pointed out in another thread (altough I found a better source), Michael Bolton apparently had a brain tumor. This may explain his strange behavior during the filming I saw at Magic Kingdom back in November, and may explain quite a bit of the other reactions we've seen from people about him in the past few months... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted January 6 1 hour ago, Thatcher said: Del Palmer, English singer/songwriter who collaborated extensively with Kate Bush with whom he had a relationship between the 70s and 90s, reportedly dead aged 71. Really sad news. Incredible bassist, and obviously there's the Kate Bush connection too; hopefully it won't scupper any future work as she's worked so close with him for years, plus John Giblin died last year too - not a good year for bassists. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,155 Posted January 19 That's a shame. I heard that he had a stroke a few years back, so he was in my DDP team for a bit. Saw The Specials once after Neville left and really missed him, so decided not to go see them again. I haven't managed to see his own band though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
