Man... First the Righteous Brother and now Tony.  This is bad.

These things usually come in three's.  I wonder who is next?

One half of The Power Station has been wiped out within one month, with Robert Palmer dying in October. How sad. :'(

Me personaly. I'm not doing so well. I'm afraid for John Taylor and Andy Taylor and the rest of the members of Duran Duran.  :'(  :-/  :-[ I just don't know how to deal with it.  :'(

Actually, Palmer died on September 26th. But still, it's very sad nevertheless.  :'( :'( :'(

Is it a health problem? Continue to share. We have a decent support network here.

Do you know of health problems or other issues plaguing them?

No, I don't but I know that they all used to drink and smoke. I think Andy still does but I'm not sure.

No, I'm not sick. I'm just worried about John, Andy, Nick, Simon and Roger.

Very sad...and certainly no age to go...

He'll probably be (unfairly) looked on as one of the 'unsung heroes' of the 70's/80's dance scene...a shame, as he was more than competent as a percussionist...

That's good to hear.

Try not to stress yourself out. It doesn't do you or anyone else any good. Everybody's got to go sometime, as nature dictates and as sad as it may be. So why worry about it?

Focus on the positive as much as is possible.

Good advice, Hairspray.  :)
Also, JohnTaylor'sHeart, don't worry too much over things you or anybody else have no control over. Duran Duran is safe for now.

RIP Tony.
