Elton John Bassist Bob Birch Dead of Apparent Suicide
Bob Birch, a long-time member of Elton John‘s band, was discovered dead Wednesday (Aug. 15) of an apparent suicide. The bassist had performed with John for two decades, and also worked with many other music legends.TMZ reports that it appears as though the musician, born Robert Wayne Birch, shot and killed himself. Law enforcement officials stated that Birch was found around the corner from his home, with a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities did not find a suicide not and there were no apparent signs of drug use.Birch had played with Elton John since 1992, and appeared on the hit single ‘Candle in the Wind ’97′ as well as such albums as ‘Made in England,’ ‘The Big Picture,’ and ‘The Union,’ Elton’s collaborative album with Leon Russell. He had also played with such music greats as Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Keith Emerson, Stevie Wonder, and Sting.So sad.

I was amazed, while looking through his credits, to realize that one guy was requested by both Keith Emerson and the Replacements! He must have really been something else.
RIP Bob, sorry I never met you. | |

Luv I think you'd better off snipping those nasty posts in Doc's thread, when you damn well know he's gonna check the org, instead of comments on Elton's guitarist that nobody really cares for. He's even not Elton John. Prince I will always miss and love U. | |
