Mykesbass Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Guess it is a case of the rock pioneers reaching older age: [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35438191"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35438191[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunRockin Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 As Mykesbass said, we're in that time when the great pioneers will be leaving us. I loved those early Airplane albums. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 How strange. I just read that Signe Anderson, the original singer of Jefferson Airplane died on the same day, as Paul, at the same age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
