Bleh. RIP. He wasn't in King Crimson more than a couple of years but those albums (Larks' and Red) are the best in their discography.

RIP
---- Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Damn, tough times for prog legends, especially bassist/singers formerly of King Crimson. Rest in Peace, John Wetton.

Sh*t. I know 60 and 70's legends are getting really old now but it's so shocking when they pass. Rest in Peace John
