I still remember hearing the news on my clock radio while I lay in my bed. A friend and I were going to purchase our tickets that were going on sale for the Montreal show the very next morning.
I still can't believe he passed before I got a chance to see him live. I envy all of you who did.
RIP Bonzo - You were one of the all-time greatest drummers to ever sit behind a kit.
Just on a point of detail, the audio clip of the TV news report was recorded with a cassette recorder mic held up to the TV during the actual broadcast - no video recorder in those days. The footage is nowhere to be found in the ATV archives.
Thank you for this sad but historic BBC archival news report footage. A day I won't ever forget. You said it best , "Always remembered...Always loved" From here on out every new generation kids, musicians, etc. will be in awe of him and love him. Bonzo's heart, soul and groove will never die.
