I heard about this earlier today. Heart problems. He must be the first Crimson member to die. RIP.

HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. BOZ IZ DEAD. THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL. NO MORE BAD COMPANY REUNION EVER AGAIN. OH GOD. I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY, AUGUST 1999- WAS SNEAKING INTO A BAD COMPANY CONCERT, VIA THE BACKSTAGE AREA, AND I REMEMBER RIGHT AT THE BACKSTAGE RAMP-THING RIGHT BEFORE I EVEN SNUCK IN, THERE WAS BOZ BY THE BUS TUNING HIS BASS. THERE WAS A SECURITY GUY RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HIM, SO I WAS THINKING I HAD TWO OPTIONS: I COULD BE WHAT THE HELLS UP TO BOZ OR JUST KEEP WALKING AND SNEAK INTO CONCERT. AND I REALLY WANTED TO SAY WAHT THE HELL BUT I JUST KEPT GOING. HE WAS WEARING NEON BRIGHT FUNNY PANTS. THEN THE 2nd PERSON I SAW BACK THERE IS DAVID LEE ROTH, THE SUPPORT ACT. THEN I WENT INTO THE MAIN SEATING AREA AND SAW THE SHOW AND BAD COMPANY ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN. ALL 4 ORIGINAL MEMBERS: MICK RALPHS, SIMON KIRKE ON DRUMS, PAUL RODGERS, AND BOZ.

BOZ WAS ALSO IN THE KING CRIMSON ALTHOUGH THE LP HE ON, FOR YRS IVE READ BAD REVIEWS OF IT, THEN WHEN I LISTENED TO IT FOR THE 1st TIME LAST WEEK, I ACTUALLY ARGREED SOMEWHAT. I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD BE THAT BAD CAUSE I ALSO HEARD WEAK REVIEWS OF IN THE WAKE OF POSIDEON BUT I **LOVE** THAT ONE. BUT YEAH.

RIP Boz Burrell.

My brother-in-law went to see Bad Company

just a few weeks ago. I'll have to ask him how many

of the original members were there and whether Boz

was one of them.
