R.I.P. Mike Grose

|

Yes — not a jolly time for us.

Mike Grose was Queen’s first bass player.

Around 1970, Roger invited him to come up to London from Cornwall to rehearse with us, putting those first songs together. He was a powerful figure, with powerful gear ! His sound was massive and monolithic !

In the end the liaison didn’t work out, but we owe Mike gratitude for helping us take those first steps.

RIP Mike.
