It has been announced by his family that John Mayall passed away peacefully at home. The first live band I ever saw was the Bluesbreakers in 1968, been a fan ever since.

Yep, he had a big influence on an adolescent Bealman's musical tastes. RIP

Heard it on the news this morning
His 'Bluesbreakers' was the breeding ground for so many greats of the music I love.
A very influential man who will be sorely missed.

So sad - so here is reminder of the man featuring the late Gary Moore from 2008...
