ANNIVERSARY

8TH JANUARY

On the 8th January 1991 a horrible darkness entered my life bringing with it a heartache that still hurts to this day.

Steve – the forgotten Guitar Giant of the 80’s and my first and last human love. This was indeed the day the music died for me… and I think maybe even a part of me died too.

On one hand I am glad that you are no longer in this hellhole of a world exposed to being used and abused, but on the other I am so sad that  your unique talents were never truly realised. You were evolving and growing as a musician and you had so much more to offer. What wonderful works could we have been treated to I have pondered many a time. You were too good for us.

I don’t think you realised yourself just how special you were Steve. Musically and otherwise you were a special man. You had a smile that could light up the darkest corners of the world and you just oozed cool naturally, effortlessly.

You were an icon like no other. The unsung hero.

Know that on this anniversary and forever you are remembered with fondness, gratitude and love by your fans and friends around the world.

Rest in peace gentle man,

Forever loved,

Always, Bev

Steve was really one of the main focuses for me. From their first record on, he was a fuckin’ rock star, with the attitude and everything. And I like playing guitar and being creative, but I also dig the attitude of the rock star trip. Not being an asshole or any of that stereotypical thing, but just some kind of suave coolness, and Steve had it.”
