MR WONDERFUL

STARS PAY TRIBUTE

“So very sad to hear about Peter. We shared a lot of great music together. He was truly one of the greats.”

John Mayall

Carlos and Santana band

Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac “I truly loved and admired him from the first time I heard him. I supported the original Fleetwood Mac at Redcar Jazz Club when I was in a local band. He was a breathtaking singer, guitarist and composer. I know who I will be listening to today.”

David Coverdale,

Whitesnake

Neal Schon, Journey

Kirk Hammett, Metallica

Andy Scott, Sweet

“Peter’s life was sad and storied, but he remains one of the greatest to ever unleash the power of music onto this world. What he created and contributed will continue

to influence the best musical artists and arouse the most curious listeners for generations to come. He had it all – great guitar player, great songwriter,

great singer.” Warren Haynes,

Gov’t Mule

Andy Powell, Wishbone Ash “When I heard Peter left Fleetwood Mac in 1970 to get a real life and donate his wealth to charity, he became something of a model for me. Albatross

and Oh Well are two of the best guitar rock tracks

ever made. ‘Now when I talked to God I knew he’d understand/ He said “Stick by me and I’ll be your guiding hand”’

[key lines from Oh Well].

Yusuf/Cat Stevens

Steve Hackett

Peter Frampton

“We know you, BB King and Otis Rush are sharing living tales of wonderment.

I cherish and treasure all the time we spent together (especially the time you invited me to be with you and your dearest mother, love the stuffed bell peppers she cooked).

A Hard Road, you with John Mayall & the Blues Breakers, The Supernatural just sacred. I love you and I’ll see you, Hendrix, SRV, Albert, Freddie, BB, all the Kings, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker. Say hello to Coltrane, Miles, Jaco, see you in eternity hall. Peace.”

“My biggest regret is that I never got to share the stage with him. I always hoped in my heart of hearts that that would happen.”

“Goodbye to one of the greatest ever. Peter Green was a huge influence on my playing, and I actually got to play with him once

right before I joined Santana, as I believe they were considering asking

him to join as well.”

“No words can describe how I feel right now. Peter Green lives on through his music and his instrument. Our loss is total. Rest In

Peace, my friend.”

“Peter Green was the most tasteful guitarist ever. I was lucky enough to see the original band in the 1960s and met him in the nineties

in the Splinter Group.”

“Peter was probably the best purveyor of blues guitar that Britain has ever produced. For tenderness and the ability to show how one’s soul could be bared, Peter was the man.”

“Peter was an extraordinary guitarist and a great influence”

“We have lost one of the most tasteful guitar players ever. I have always been a huge admirer. May he

rest in peace.”
