Sadly news also this week of another keyboard player who has passed away. Hawkwind's Jason Stuart died on Monday 8 September following a brain aneurysm on Friday. He was 39. The following appeared on the Hawkwind site...
"We first met Jason when he was playing keyboards with Captain Rizz, who supported us on the Alien tour in 1995...
We remained friends, Jason jamming with us at parties and in the studio. In 2004 he joined the band full time playing a batch of live dates and recording the studio album Take Me to Your Leader. We spent the next 4 years working together both on the road and in the studio...
Jason will be sadly missed by us all, he was a much loved member of the Hawkwind family and became a major part of all of our lives…Its difficult to imagine how things will be without him, but in order to go forward, we must remember the many happy and funny times we spent together...
Jason was an integral part of the band, a wonderful keyboard player and a great character. We will miss him, he lived just down the road from us and many hours were spent playing music together and reminiscing about our adventures in far off places. I will always remember when we visited the Oracle at Delphi and much to his delight he discovered the ancient tablet with the first written notation of music... We will never forget you my friend..."
