Graeme CrallanJuly 29, 2008: 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.

April 14, 2004 I just spoke with 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.
January 25, 2004 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..."
