Following the death of Keith Moon, The Who decided to add keyboard to their live sound. Their first keys man, John 'Rabbit' Bundrick, died of myxomatosis onstage during a performance in Japan.

I'm sure I read somewhere he was actually run over by a Magic Bus?

Not only is the father of Countryside Alliance Supporter Otis Ferry, Bryan Ferry headlining his latest Tour but he has arranged the Tour Personnel's transport between gigs by boat which he himself is Skippering. Needless to say it has a bumper sticker saying simply, "Bryan's Ferry"

Thing is, he got to 5 folds in the studio and thought "F*ck it, I need to actually write and perform some music"...and the rest is, as they say, history.

[sub]60's "Shout" songstress and M&S model Lulu has a detailed rider in her Performing Contract as to the provision of toilet facilities.[/sub]
[/quote]

The songstress/model actually died in a car crash in 1979, and was surreptitiously replaced by Teresa Stratas for the recording of her eponymous album of that year.

When said songstress performed at folkie Cropredy a few years ago, the contract was amended to include a Tree Bog, somewhere near the river Cherwell.

Always wondered, don't the crops get trampled/spoiled if they're ready at the time of the Festival?
