Il
ricordo di Fish
Ex-MARILLION
frontman and prog rock legend Fish mourned the death of his friend, saying:
"I just heard the tragic news today that my dear friend Ted McKenna passed
away this morning. A fabulous musician and one of the all-time greats who
inspired so many rock drummers across generations he was a truly legendary
stick man who graced so many kits behind so many world-famous bands. I had the
enormous pleasure of not only working in the studio with him but also sharing
stages in various incarnations over the years. He was a monster drummer with
endless energies who played with so much soul and passion and drove songs with
a power and grace like no other.
"But
it wasn't only his playing that made him such a legend. He was a beautiful man
who could drift from the comic to the serious, abound with stories and
anecdotes, a perpetual smile despite all the difficulties he encountered and
suffered over the years with never a bad word to say about anyone. I loved his
bear hugs and his enthusiasm for everything. Always positive and always there
for you if you needed him. He was a man's man and I am honoured to have had him
as a true friend.
"My
heart goes out to his family and his friends, of which he had so many and to
all the people he touched with the music over his long years with us. He will be deeply missed
and never replaced.
"Love
you, Ted. RIP brother."
