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, 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
