John Entwistle

Genesis Publications is deeply saddened by the news of John Entwistle's death. John died at age 57 in a Las Vegas hotel room on the 27th of June, just as he and The Who were about to start a US tour.

Apart from being one of the finest bass players ever, he was also a fine man. Always regarded as 'the quiet one' of the group, he happily and freely gave of his time to contribute to Maximum Who and it was both a pleasure and honour for us to work with him. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his friends, family and fans. He will be missed.
