Bernie Marsden

We’re devastated to hear of the passing of Bernie Marsden.

 

Bernie was a great friend to the band and had known some of us for 40 years.

He joined the band on stage and on tour many times over the years and created some magic memories.

Our condolences go out to Fran, Charlotte and Olivia.

RIP Bernie. 

 

Chris Overland

We’re very sad to announce the passing of FM founding guitarist Chris Overland. 

 

We were very lucky to have some fantastic times together over the years.

 

Chris helped to write some of our most memorable songs and was regarded as one of Britain's best melodic guitarists.

 

We politely ask for respect and privacy to Chris’ family at this sad time.

Steve, Merv, Pete, Jem, Jim and Didge.
