This is a tough one on the back of David Johansen last week. RIP Brian James, without doubt the finest guitarist I have had the pleasure of seeing. I’ll never forget meeting him backstage after the Lords of the New Church gig at Huddersfield Poly in the 1980s.

So sad. The last of the lipstick killers. A massive part of my youth and musical upbringing 🙏
