Genesis Drummer Passes Away

[quarry2006]

I think this is a tragic story, simply on a personal level with regards to John's brother Paul. John Mahew only played on one album, Trespass, and he has some interesting things to say on that experience in the band's Chapter And Verse biography.

Thats a shame. I was only watching some of the Genesis/Phil Collins day on the Biography channel on Sunday afternoon.

To quote from the website:

When he died the state was going to pay for his funeral

If the above is true, I do hope the current members of Genesis can chip in a couple of bob to see he gets a decent send off.

If anyone's interested, there's an interview with Mr Mayhew done a couple of years ago:
