So long Billy and Rock on.:yourock:

Was still rockin strongly at 60

For those too young to know or appreciate get a copy of "Long Way to the Top" on DVD.
Any man who can make a fortune and get a in the top 10 by singing mash potato and yeah over and over again deserves legend status.

But to be fair, when Mash Potato was in the top ten, so was "Donal' where's your troosers".

See you somewhere over the rainbow Billy!

I also recommend his first auto biography Some people I Know The man lived life to the full and put out some great music as well.

So long Puffin Billy.

He wasn't crazy - he was only fibbin'

There is going to be one hell of a concert when Billy gets there - so long.........

[Lignum]

A terrible tragedy and very sad day. Everyone has been waiting for the news Lobby Lloyd has passed on, but to hear this is a total shock. :(

[Bleedin Thumb]

Lig is Lobby Lloyd crook or aren't you a fan?:?

[Lignum]

Big fan of both. Lobby Lloyd has lung cancer and hasnt long to live.

Hindsight is great, but spewin as Thorpie played at the Chelsea Heights hotel 5 min from me on Sat night:( Ive never seen anyone play like him and get the crowd pumping big time. Live he was just awsome

[ivanavitch]

I suddenly feel a little older. Ta for the memories Billy.

[John Saxton]

Long remembered not forgotten as one that set the Oz music seen alight.

RIP Billy, but you're with some of the best including the Big O ,J.O'K, Elvis, John Lennon,George Harrison,Frankie Laine,Hope you enjoy the "jamming" with them.
