Steve Currie Again

You may recall I recently did a tribute to T-Rex bass player Steve Currie. Just 3 weeks ago to be exact. The 27th anniversary of his passing.

This is one of the things that disturbed me when I compiled Everybody I Shot Is Dead. Not just the fact that all these great musicians died, but that so many of them died right before their birthdays. I don't think that's fair. When it comes to death, holidays and birthdays should be avoided at all cost.

Today we are celebrating Steve's 61st birthday. If you didn't catch the tribute on his passing, here again is the one and only photograph I took of him.

And some footage of him and his fellow members of T-Rex:


Rock On!

Steve Currie

27 years and one day have passed since T-Rex bass player Steve Currie was killed in a single vehicle crash near his home in Spain at the age of 33.

This is the one and only photo I took of him...but one of my favorites.

Here he is with Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn (also passed) at a UK show in 1972.
