Extremely sad. One of all time favorites. Especially Banquet, Groupies as well as many other Lucifer's Friend compositions, are timeless pieces of art carved in my heart forever - lead by his uniquely powerful yet gentle, melodramatic voice. Their music is touch of heaven. His work with UH is also excellent, perfect fit after departure of Byron.
