Rankin’ Roger of The Beat

 

Gutted

Really sad news, it's not much more than three years since I saw them live and he was in great form then. Just wouldn't have imagined he'd be gone so soon.

You ain't the only one. Of all the ska revival bands of the era The Beat were by far my favourite. Gutted. :sad:

Emiliano Sala's father died of a heart attack, 3 months after his son's plane crash.

(QUOTE DELETED)
