I'm totally stunned tonight to hear the very sad news of the passing of Andy Fraser former bass player with Free.
I was fortunate enough to see Fraser back in those great days but even more so to see him performing live only 18 months ago at a convention to celebrate his old band. Although he has battled AIDS and cancer in recent years, on that occasion he looked and sounded fit and well.
I feel privileged to have seen him and will forever regard him as one of the best bass players of his generation. In my view no song demonstrates this better than the Free classic. 'Mr Big'.
Listen to it here.
Goodnight Andy. Rest in peace.
