V. sad news today of Deon Estus’ death. A lavishly gifted bass guitarist, a charismatic & impish character & a rock of the WHAM! rhythm section. He lives large in the memory, he radiated warmth, humour & life’s illuminating light, my heartfelt commiserations go out to his family.

This is very sad news. We were talking about him on #OffTheChart a couple of weeks ago. As well as Wham! he played bass on "Can't Stop Running" by Space Monkey which we played on the 28 September show. #RIPDeonEstus nme.com/news/music/wha…
