[Closed] Jon Brookes pass's very sad
Gutted.
44? Blimey! That's no age!
RIP. He was responsible for some quality music ๐
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 ๐ 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....
