Really sad today to hear of the passing of Burke Shelley, founder member of legendary Welsh rockers Budgie. You might not have heard of them but they are often praised and covered by lots of iconic bands such as Metallica, Soundgarden and Iron Maiden. I've lost count of the number of times I saw them live - they were always awesome and Burke was a little powerhouse out front with his epic bass work and singular vocals. Totally down to earth and approachable too. Here's a link to the best tribute I've found online, which includes the way his health was messed up even further by incompetant surgery, resulting in him having to retire from music too early. Some of their best tracks are also included as youtube clips
Or if you're in a hurry, here's Breadfan which is probably their best known song
And In for the Kill, which is always the song I think of whenever Jeff's version is mentioned
And as an extra treat, Crash Course in Brain Surgery
RIP Burke, you were a legend x
