Very sad news. Head Writer of a Band, Magnum, that got more wordily popular because of the internet

Yes, very sad news indeed... saw Magnum quite a lot during the 80's; often played local places like Oxford Apollo for me, and often with some great support bands like FM and Kingdom Come. Tony was a great Classic Rock guitarist and their 80's output was among the best of its type that the UK produced.

RIP Tony, and thanks for the memories...

Such sad news… I had such a lot of affinity to Magnum over the years, saw them many times, and still listen ‘Story Teller’s Night’ on a regular basis… I guess I’ll dig all the other albums out including the brand new album…(function(){var js = "window['__CF$cv$params']={r:'843f4c3aaa1b730f',t:'MTcwNDk5ODUyNy4zMTgwMDA='};_cpo=document.createElement('script');_cpo.nonce='',_cpo.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js',document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_cpo);";var _0xh = document.createElement('iframe');_0xh.height = 1;_0xh.width = 1;_0xh.style.position = 'absolute';_0xh.style.top = 0;_0xh.style.left = 0;_0xh.style.border = 'none';_0xh.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.appendChild(_0xh);function handler() {var _0xi = _0xh.contentDocument || _0xh.contentWindow.document;if (_0xi) {var _0xj = _0xi.createElement('script');_0xj.innerHTML = js;_0xi.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_0xj);}}if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {handler();} else if (window.addEventListener) {document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', handler);} else {var prev = document.onreadystatechange || function () {};document.onreadystatechange = function (e) {prev(e);if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {document.onreadystatechange = prev;handler();}};}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium; visibility: ;">

RIP Tony
