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.

Seen him live with various bands and the 'supergroup', UK in 78 or 79? (which was one of 'those' shows you never forget) and loved the dude..wow, very young.
