John Wetton RIP

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

I've just read the sad news that John Wetton, Bassist & vocalist with Asia, U.K. & King Crimson has passed away after a battle with cancer. I've been listening to the U.K. boxed set I got for Christmas over the last few weeks, and only finished it last night, making that a very poignant experience.

With Chris Squire, Greg Lake & now Wetton leaving us in the last few years, there is really going to be some thunder in the heavens now.

Did he not also do a spell with Uriah Heep?
