RIP Brian 'Blinky' Davison

From ELP_DISC:

------------------

I've just had a phone call from Lee Jackson to tell me that Brian died last night around 9.30pm.

Brian had been ill since before Christmas with a brain tumour and secondaries in his liver and was already in a very poor state by the end of January. Lee told me that Keith (Emerson) was on the phone to him when he got the call from Bazz on his landline. with the sad news, so they both found out at the same time.

I'm sure all are thoughts will be with Brian's wife Terri at this sad time.

Brian was a very under-rated drummer who deserved much more success than he got imho.

If you don't know who Brian is, do yourself a huge favour and quickly order copies of Five Bridges and Elegy by The Nice. Honestly...there are times I far prefer them to ELP.
