Francis Buchholz. Descanse en Paz.

Acaba de salir la noticia del triste fallecimiento de Francis Buchholz. El que fuera bajista de Scorpions desde 1973 hasta 1992 por lo visto llevaba un tiempo luchando contra el cáncer. No se había comentado nada oficialmente. Una noticia inesperada, un mazazo. Joven, muy joven.

La persona que puso su bajo en discos tan inmortales como "Fly to The Rainbow", "Love At First Sting", "Tokyo tapes", "Virgin Killer", "Taken By Force, "Blackout", "Love Drive", "Crazy World" o "World Wide Live" entre otros, ya no está entre nosotros. Mal, muy mal. Un día difícil.

 

Os dejamos con el comunicado oficial de la familia: 

 "It is with overwhelming sadness and heavy hearts we share the news that our beloved Francis passed away yesterday after a private battle with cancer. He departed this world peacefully, surrounded by love.

Our hearts are shattered. Throughout his fight with cancer, we stayed by his side, facing every challenge as a family - exactly the way he taught us.

To his fans around the world - we want to thank you for your unwavering loyalty, your love, and the belief you placed in him throughout his incredible journey. You gave him the world, and he gave you his music in return. Though the strings have gone silent, his soul remains in every note he played and in every life he touched.

With love and gratitude,

Hella, Sebastian, Louisa and Marietta".
