Guitarist from The Outfield Dead at 61
Sad news broke in the music world late Wednesday night as John Spinks, the guitarist for 80s British pop rock trio The Outfield lost his battle with liver cancer. He was 61. Spinks most famously wrote the band's biggest hit "Your Love."
The band left the following announcement on their Facebook page:
"We would like to thank you for 'Your Love' and the continued support you have given John throughout his career. He loved making music and playing his guitar. He found pleasure knowing that his music made people happy and bought them fond memories. He worked hard with many days in pain to finish the Replay album. There were times when he could barely pick up his guitar, but he refused to give up knowing he would disappoint fans. The hardest day for John was when he put his guitar in its case announcing his hands could no longer play."
