Heard this on the early morning news mate.
Great drummer in one of my favourite bands.
Very sad news.

Not particuarly a fan of theirs but still shocking news. 50 is no age.

1. Rip Taylor.  Far far Too young to die.
2. What a talented musician. Loved his Freddie Mercury covers.
3. Just say no.

When famous people die obviously interviewees all sing their praises
It seems to me that this guy was a really genuinely nice man. And all the praise being said about him would appear to be really heartfelt and genuinely felt

I think its very difficult for us mere mortals to appreciate the pressures and stresses that these people live their lives under.

Its always been a given that to reach the great heights that they achieve must as surly night follows day be followed by gushing lows.

Loved the band and Taylor was a very big part of it, for FF who knows what the future holds, could be the end.

I can’t see it being the end unless DG reflects on this and Kurt Cobain.  From a studio point of view they have a good drummer already in DG. I know that’s not going to help the hurt of losing TH.
could end up with a Genesis situation where P Collins played the drums in the studio and they took a drummer on tour
