Tony Rivers has posted on Facebook that Kevin Peek (Sky, Cliff's band, etc) has passed away but I haven't seen confirmation anywhere else. we had a false alarm about Herbie Flowers some months ago, but I have no idea if this is another example.

Anyone know?

Facebook a couple of days ago was full of people announcing Kevin Peek's passing but I could find no reference to it anywhere on the web.

There hasn't been an obit in The Telegraph either, a newspaper which I consider even more reliable than the BBC.

Maybe Tony Rivers saw it on Facebook.

Tony said he picked it up on Brian Bennett's FB page.

Aye, I had a look but all I could find was Tony's post. I'll root around a bit more.

HI

I knew Kevin really well when he played with Olivia and Cliff and he always suffered from a dodgy stomach. I remember he was taken ill at the Sheffield Fiesta club whilst working with Olivia and had to cancel the wee.

Regards

Stuart

I sincerely hope this is NOT true.

I have just emailed Peter Lyster-Todd (sky's former manager) to enquire. Doesn't seem like five minutes since Steve Gray passed away.

:(

It would seem that nobody in WA is saying anything either way, so probably best to wait until there is confirmation.

Nah, I saw that too before I posted. It's not confirmation, it's a speculative piece based on hearsay.
