UFO, WAYSTED: ci ha lasciato il bassista Pete Way, il cordoglio da parte di molti musicisti
Ci ha lasciato Pete Way, bassista e cofondatore degli UFO all’età di 69 anni.
Fece parte degli UFO dal 1969 al 1982, dal 1988 al 1989 e dal 1992 al 2008. Inoltre cofondò i WAYSTED e lavorò anche con Michael Schenker, FASTWAY e Ozzy Osbourne.
Ricordiamo che nel 2016 fu sopravvisse ad un infarto e due mesi fa riportò gravissime conseguenze per un incidente.
Ecco i messaggi di cordoglio sui social da parte di molti musicisti:
This year keeps getting worse. Pete Way, one of the “characters” of metal and fellow @AVFCOfficial supporter has passed. He supported Deadland Ritual on the show in London. Very funny man. RIP Pete. pic.twitter.com/HtX2Iu152T
