The Official RIP Thread

[Pride of Lions]

Was never a fan of UB40.

Where I lived, it was the pie keys who were fans of theirs.

Neither was I - not my style of music.

However, I used to drink in a pub in Moseley that they frequented (when in Brum) and managed to get a poster signed off them for my then young daughter.

With regard to what you think about UB40, I am so sad to think Brian is no longer with us. I think he was the only VILLA fan in the band?

I'm personally deeply upset. he has died

 

[The Fear]

Yes. Must admit. Not sure it matters if a fan or not. He was a gentleman and a fellow Villan.

 

[Melon Donkey]

UB40 recorded 39 UK top 40 singles and 28 top 40 albums, and sold 100 million albums worldwide. They were doing something right thats for sure .

HEITS.

Nooooooooooo!

Was lucky enough to see the Stones play in Cardiff Millennium stadium 3 years ago and they were just mind blowingly brilliant considering their age. Charlie was on top form!

RIP

RIP Charlie and thanks for the music. These are the ones I grew up listening to in the sixties.

Looking on the bright side at least we still have Harry Styles and Robbie Williams

Saw them at Wembley in the eighties with my brother.
Fantastic day out. Aftermath was the first album I ever bought.
Thanks for the memories.
RIP Charlie

RIP Sarah Harding 39. (Girls Aloud)
Way too young, sad.

No age, poor lady. Thoughts with her family. I have noticed a lot of breast cancer awareness since, she did a very brave thing going public with it in the interests of others.
