That's a shame . Still planning to tour however. The band is supporting Simple Minds next month when I'll be seeing them in Birmingham.

This is sad news.

Good live band and his voice is excellent.

One of the best lines in a song ever.....

'While American businessmen snap up van goghs for the price of a hospital wing'

One of the times I saw them, they played a long set with most of their hits (which is a lot more than you might think) and then they had a spin the wheel with probably 20 more lesser known songs on them and every so often they spun the wheel and played whatever came up.

Quite impressive and I guess kept it interesting for the band.

I saw them in 2018 (albeit briefly as I only lasted 2 songs into their set) as I’d gone to see the support band really.

Saw him singing recently on Scottish music event and voice still sounded fine.

Different people have different symptoms of PD. Great if his voice is not affected.

Spit in the rain - great tune, fine band. Hope he is well enough for as long as possible
