RIP Pete Way

“Iā€™m heartbroken at the news of the passing of our old friend Pete Way especially coming so close to that of Paul Raymond & Paul Chapman .. Iā€™d known Pete since 1980 when I went to see UFO & Girl play together at the Sheffield City Hall & we were mates ever since… weā€™ve played together, laughed & cried together, done naughty things together but beyond all of that he was a genuinely great guy, a complete lunatic, but a totally lovable character, a proper rock star who burned to candle way beyond both ends but certainly brightened the lives a of a lot of people along the way. Rest in peace my friend….” – Joe Elliott
