Bassist William Gallagher posted this heartfelt statement on the band's Facebook page: "Terry has been fighting this disease for over a year and even though I knew it was coming it still come as a great shock. I have so enjoyed the great times in the studio composing and performing music, travelling the world and being his friend. Terry you have been the greatest inspiration in my life and I'm going to miss you so very much. I will never ever forget you and will always hold my memories of you dear to my heart. I will forever be your bass player and we will perform again together one day in the afterlife in the sky... Goodbye my friend... Liam (WillyG)."
