Gutted.

44? Blimey! That’s no age!

RIP. He was responsible for some quality music 🙁

The whole tale’s been very sad indeed. I saw him play out Sprotson Green at the end of the Brum gig in 2010, not long after he’d collapsed (at a previous gig in the same tour) & been diagnosed. The crowd were absolutely wild about him coming on-stage given what he’d just started to deal with.

My thoughts go out to his wife, three young children and the rest of the band. Rest in peace Jon!

😥

We were at the same gig then and probably many before. Apologies I also created another thread before seeing this one.

Very sad news 🙁 and a reminder to live life to the full.

RIP

liked his style as a drummer

seen the band countless times in the past.

I grew up listening to the charlatans. Some Friendly was the soundtrack of my youth! Still one of my favorite albums of all time, reminds me of a time when things seemed much more fun….

and this….

Very sad news and a reminder to live life to the full.
