Edward Allan Clarke

Today it was announced that Fast Eddie died yesterday ... and now all three are gone!

The worst thing about getting old is that your childhood heroes die. Nobody told me it would be like this when I came along for the ride. Frankly, it shouldn't be allowed.

As a very young child, I saw them at the Manchester Apollo on the Ace Of Spades tour. Right down at the front of the stage ... off my tits on cider and mushrooms ... and walked out temporarily deaf.

Stone cold genius and now stone dead forever.
