Always maintained his voice from king crimson to Asia. Still a sad loss

John, your amazing music/singing touched so many hearts, including mine. I still find it hard to believe you're physically gone. But you definitely live in many or our hearts.
I was fortunate to meet you in 2010 after a show, shake your hand and tell you how much your music meant to me since the early 80s.
My condolences to the Wetton family for his loss. I can't imagine how his loss impacted you. May he rest in peace.
God bless you!

I got to know John a bit throughout the years, meeting him after solo shows in the 1990's, and meet and greets after the Asia reunion shows. He was a brilliant musician, fantastic vocalist, amazing song writer, and a down to earth nice gentleman. I think of him often. John was such a huge part of the music of my youth and adult life. It's difficult knowing that he is no longer physically...
