RIP Wayne, one of my first pop heroes! Love Peter Noone's tribute:
"Wayne Wayne don't go away.

"After 59 years of friendship, laughter, tears, jail cells and lost brain bells [sic], we have handed over our lovely lead singer Wayne Fontana to the big band in ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN."

Condolences to his family and friends.

Yes looks like a very young-looking Eric Stewart on the BBC piece linked above.

RIP Glyn.

Did Manchester groups back in the 60s get the credit they deserved?

Discuss.
