Tank - Former Bassist And Founding Member Algy Ward Passed Away
Mick van Tuckerberg, a long-time guitarist of a heavy metal band Tank, revealed that the band's founding member and former bass player Algy Ward has passed away. Algy was part of the band in years between 1980 and 1989 as well as between 1997 and 2007.
Guitarist Mick van Tuckerberg commented: Just heard the sad news my old band mate passed away in hospital last Wednesday, May 17th. We formed a formidable songwriting team when I joined Tank in 1983 and recorded some great albums along the way and many shows with tank and the Nicky Moore band who I joined in 1990 with Algy. Over the last couple of years we had to carry on without him but hoped one day we could get him back onstage with us. A glass will be raised tonight in your honour..."
