RIP. Way too young to go.

Wetton was really good in a rather different way than a lot of the bands he played with were used to. A good bassist, but not busy, a good singer, but not a tenor. Expressive, but in a decidedly masculine way. I'm sure a lot of people are unhappy tonight, RIP.

I was a big fan of Asia back in High School. I'll miss him.
