Sammers Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 It's strange as it's on his Official Twitter, Facebook and Website. Surely someone in the JB PR camp would check before posting? Very sad news indeed if it's true, Tales of Brave Ulysses was one of the tracks that made me want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensationalism, lack of verification of information, ethics and standards issues are only symptoms of the actual social and economic order. This is particularly obvious when observing the role of social networking sites in spreading rumours.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][/quote][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif]Wouldn't trust whatever is on there.[/font][/color] Edited October 25, 2014 by Sammers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Supposedly, it happened on Thursday and it's not being reported by any legit news sites yet, so I still think it's a hoax. He probably used the same passwords for Twitter, Facebook and his site's CMS or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Very sad news. Amazing bassist who has left an enduring legacy, a huge influence on many of us here no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 He hadn't really been well since his liver transplant. When Cream did their reunion a few years back he sang and played great, but looked dreadful (then again, Ginger Baker looked worse). That press pic that's on the BBC site right now is not flattering.
