Today I lost a great brother and friend, the loveliest guy you’ll ever hope to meet. So dreadfully sad. I’m devastated. Here’s us 42 years ago posing with his Bentley. Alan White, the main man. Miss you forever buddy. x

- 4 years ago today, we lost my great friend, musical brother and genius, John Wetton. The World is a much poorer place in respect of that, as we sorely miss his great wisdom, wit and talent - taken much too soon. Please play a JW song today to remember the great man by. Gx 🙏🏻
