[Heeplist] John Lawton

[Pete Wharton]

Sorry Bob, but why do you expect to get a personal detailed explanation? Do you expect a detailed explanation for everyone who leaves a band? It may be Heep, but they have as much right to privacy and confidentiality as everybody else.  That's just the way PR for the band works as well. Should we be demanding to know all the inside details of why you have left jobs in the past or been forced out? Maybe they don't tell the whole story because they don't want the whole world to know what is not their business?

At HV 2008 a year later, Lee was there and when I talked with him he seemed to have some lingering bitterness about being forced out for Russell. However when he played with the the other ex members I saw him just after and he looked shot!  He couldn't shake hands.His hands and wrists were all puffy and swollen. It was then that I realized he was forced for his own  good healthwise and not able to do it anymore. 

My point was, we were given the year before a generic statement and that was it, nothing detailed.
