R.I.P. Graeme Crallan! Very sad news: ex- TANK & WHITE SPIRIT drummer
Graham Crallan died on
Sunday night July 27, 2008. Graeme was ill for sometime.
Message from Cliff Evans:
Tomorrow at 10.30 a.m. we
will bury our fallen comrade Graeme Crallan. His drumming on 'Honour and
Blood' is now legendary and worthy of the Victoria cross medal for
bravery. He was a loyal member of our ranks and completed several tours
of duty during his short time with us. Tomorrow, Friday 1st August
2008,10.30 a.m., may we suggest 2 minutes of loud metal in memory to the
Mighty 'CRALL' R.I.P.

Algy Ward's
brother Iain "Kipper"
Ward, according to him Algy feels much better now, than he was few weeks ago. Algy
was several times at the
hospital for the check ups and he's taking some break on the coast of
England right now. When Algy's
at home he's writing for the new TANK
CD. Tanks for all your e-mails.

Here's update from
Algy Ward himself:
"Hi Oleg and
everybody, I've been extremely touched by every ones thoughts, their
kind words and best wishes, e-mails, phone calls etc. but the
statement posted was unfortunately slightly misleading, I haven't been
diagnosed with a tumour as yet, but I'm waiting for the analysis, it
could be a glandular problem(hopefully). The doctors don't know, but
there's a lump under my skull, behind my left ear, all the same, I
have had a tumour before, on my rib cage during 1995, and thankfully
that one turned out to be benign, what I do know is that my hearing is
in a state, and being near any noise at all is virtually un- bearable,
whether this is permanent, it is too soon to tell, I'd have loved to
play the shows in the U.S., but I'm not well enough to travel, let
alone perform, I hope the men in white coats, can sort me out over the
next couple of months.... Thanks again for everyone's concern, and I'll
be in touch... Your ever loving... uncle Algy.
HAMMER ON!!! Good night children... everywhere..."
