“My Dad had been ill for a long time, he hadn’t contracted the virus but he was just at the end of his journey. He was loved and cared for by amazing people.”
He added: “My Dad loved our music and came to maybe 100 Charlatans gigs or could have been more. I’ll be back from 9pm to listen to the Chemical Brothers with Tom and Ed, then listen to a majestic Cocteau Twins album with Simon Raymonde. Meet you back here x x.”
