DUKE

We are very sad to have to tell you all that Duke passed away at 9pm last night Thursday 9th April.

He had been very poorly for some time.
Four years ago he had a very bad fall and broke his neck which also damaged the nerves conected to the spinal chord.In the last few months he had deteriated and a few days before his death he was rushed to the Ratcliffe Hospital in Oxford with internal bleeding then went into a coma before having a severe heart attack.
All us Barron Knights are devestated losing a friend who was a member of the band for 46 years.He had a great singing voice and was very much a part of all our hit records and was a great performer on stage.

Our condolences go to Dear Pauline and Jocaster his wife and daughter who looked after Duke over the last few months.

Already tributes are pouring in and they as well as us Barron Knights thank you all for your very kind thoughts at this sad time.
