Black Sabbath - Former Keyboardist Geoff Nicholls Dies


Another fallen cancer victim, this time former Black Sabbath keyboardist Geoff Nicholls, who died after a long fight with lung cancer. He was 68 years old and played in acts such as Black Sabbath, Tony Martin and Quartz.

Tony Iommi wrote: "I'm so saddened to hear the loss of one of my dearest and closest friends Geoff Nicholls. He's been suffering for a while now with lung cancer and he lost his battle this morning. Geoff and I have always been very close and he has been a real true friend to me and supported me all the way for nearly 40 years. I will miss him dearly and he will live in my heart until we meet again. Rest In Peace my dear friend."

Quartz wrote: "Everyone in the band, and associated with the band, are struggling to find the words to express their feelings and sadness regarding the passing of their dear friend Geoff Nicholls earlier this morning at home. Geoff had been unwell for a long time battling cancer and had under gone extensive radio and chemotherapy plus other trial treatment but all sadly to no avail in the end. In this darkest and lowest moment of time Geoff's lyrics and music speak volumes to us and for us and through these his memory will live on forever. Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to Gloria and her family as they try come to terms with their loss. RIP Geoff xxx"

His work in Sabbath really creates a mood. Great player. He'll be missed. We are only going to lose more legends from here on. It's sad.
