Sad to hear of the passing of Brian Travers, who was with UB40 since the beginning, playing the sax, aged 62.

Had a history of brain tumors over the past few years.

I recall hearing Signing Off and Present Arms when they were released and being totally blown away by them both. Still listen to both today!

Very proud to have worked with and known the man for a long time.

Gone way too soon, leaving a very big hole in many people's lives.

Thoughts and condolences got to the family and band.

Sad to hear about Charlie Watts, but this is a bigger blow to me musically, as I absolutely adored UB40 in their early years.
What an absolute legend Brian was, musically sublime imo.
Stones were over rated diva's.
