Sam Leach, Merseybeat promoter, passed away in the early hours 21 December, days after his 82nd birthday. He had been suffering from cancer and passed at home in Liverpool, as reported by the Echo.

Sam had the Tower Ballroom in New Brighton, among others venues, and put on The Beatles 40 times during 1961 and 1962, with several of the Tower concerts being co-promotions with Brian (though their early relationship was fractious as lines were defined) – including the “Little Richard at the Tower Ballroom”, which had The Beatles second on the bill.

He was an important figure during those pivotal years, at one time a possible manager, and someone who was behind many of their biggest pre-fame concerts by dint of having the Ballroom. The Beatles played there 27 times.

RIP Sam, with many thanks for your early support of, and belief in, the Boys .

Wish I could have seen even one of those gigs.

It’s not your fault, it’s just that by the time you were born, The Beatles had stopped touring. If it makes you feel better, I don’t think anyone on this forum has been to one of those shows.

Maybe you should try posting more.

Status Quo’s Rick Parfitt has passed in hospital in Spain aged 68.

He died from a severe infection caused by complications with recent shoulder surgery.

What that man could do with three chords!

RIP Rick.

George Michael “died peacefully” at home at 53. No other details yet. This is just getting ridiculous.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Breaking the moment but as we all get older all the great musicians we followed and loved as kids or are being discovered now are going to be dying (if not yet dead obviously). Sadly it’s part of life. 2016 has seen a lot but there are far more to come.

Yes, I don’t think 2017 will get any better, its just demographics.

Come on though, 53 is still way too young. 🙁 This one hurt. Bowie hurt, Alan Rickman hurt, this one hurt really bad. He was only two years older than me!!
