From everyone here at BrianJohnsonRacing.com, our sincere condolences to the family and friends of John Miles who sadly died on Sunday December 5th. 2021
John grew up in Hebburn near Newcastle and while a pupil at Jarrow Grammar School, Miles was a member of a local band called The Influence, which also included Paul Thompson, later drummer with Roxy Music; and Vic Malcolm, later lead guitarist with Geordie. It was through these two friends of Brian that the two singers first met. They remained friends ever since.
Brian says – “Our thoughts are with his wife Eileen, and John jr and Tanya the children, it must be a very sad time for them, as it is for us, and all of Newcastle. What a great talent he was. I will miss you John, always”.
Music was my first love
And it will be my last
John Miles RIP
“Just a bit of fun – it was Brands Hatch, summer 2013, the pre 1966 Mini race – I was driving number 38 and moved from 19th on the grid, to finish 7th! A good day at the races!”
I am saddened by the passing of my friend Malcolm Young, I can’t believe he’s gone.
We had such great times on the road.
I was always aware that he was a genius on guitar, his riffs have become legend, as has he.
I send out my love and sympathy to his wife Linda, his children Cara and Ross,
and Angus, who will all be devastated…. as we all are.
He has left a legacy that I don’t think many can match.
He never liked the celebrity side of fame, he was too humble for that.
He was the man who created AC/DC because he said “there was no Rock,n,Roll” out there.
I am proud to have known him and call him a friend, and I’m going to miss him so much.
I salute you, Malcolm Young.
– Brian Johnson, November 2017
