Friends in the music business have paid tribute to the rock star, who succumbed to cancer of the oesophagus a month before he was scheduled to go on the road again with a new band.

He had announced in February that he was suffering from the disease and was given just weeks to live.

His positive attitude to his illness enabled him to spend his final months saying goodbye to his many friends.

Galley said a final farewell to his Trapeze co-star Glenn Hughes, who used to play with Deep Purple, a week ago.
I didn't know he passed away. Rest in Peace, both of them.

Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
Youre the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass you by

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
