GERRY RAFFERTY RIP 1947 - 2011

2011 is starting very badly, Gerry Rafferty died this morning, he was 63.

He was wellknown for his Hits "Stuck in the middle with you" with his band Stealers Wheels and the song "Baker Street" on the "City to City" album (Pic left above) as a solo artist.

Chuck Berry collapses on stage in Chicago Jan 1st 2011

The 84-year-old Berry’s head lay on a keyboard, and he didn’t move for a couple of minutes before he was helped off stage by three people shortly before 10:30 p.m. He returned 20 minutes later after most of the auditorium had cleared out. He tuned up his guitar and tried to play before telling the audience he had no strength. He then did a variation of his legendary duck walk off stage. (from Chicago Sun-Times)

Chuck is trying to tune is guitar before being escorted out by staff:

Take some rest, Daddy !

Chuck is telling the audience he can't play before leaving the stage for good:
