UFO’s Phil Mogg pays hommage to Bernie Marsden:
“Well, it’s with a much saddened heart we have to say goodbye to Bernie who has fled the scene.
He will be badly missed by us all - friends, fans, and of course his family, to whom we send our deepest sympathy.
I still have vivid memories of picking up and dropping Bernie off at his flat in Shepherds Bush Road near the green, way back when we would trundle off in that old Ford Executive which would constantly break down on the way to some dodgy gig where you’d be lucky if you got paid, if at all.
Still Bernie was in the thick of it playing great guitar and still retaining a sense of humour which back then was absolutely necessary. I saw him some years back at one of those festivals you do (probably in the beer tent!) and he still had the sense of humour from back then, and still managed to have that warmth and charm which he carried around with him which would rub off so easily on everyone he met.
Well dear friend, I guess we'll meet again, in the words of the song which you’ve probably played a thousand times... “farther up the road".
Lorra love, Phil x
P.S. if you see Pete Way don’t lend him any money you’ll never get it back.”
