Said my last farewell to my friend Eric Haydock bassist and founder member of The Hollies last week at a semi private ceremony in Manchester. A fitting service and eulogies from his two sons Robert & Jim to a chapel packed with many well known faces was comforting. R.I.P Eric

Re Eric Haydock; The New Chapel Manchester Crematorium Barlow Moor Road, adjoining Southern Cemetery Friday 1st February 14.30.
Those attending please be advised that the chapel is very small so you will probably have to stand outside. RIP Eric.
@kick_in_grass I do James, but his family have asked that the date & details are not published on social media and I must respect their wishes, however if things change I will announce accordingly.
@SiCranstoun Hi Ya Si. You've been a bit quiet lately, busy? Great news, but don't forget your roots and day 1 followers. All the best, Brixton lad always.
@CLF0474 HI Craig. As Eric's passing was sudden and unexpected there will be a postmortem first and before any funeral arrangements can be made. I will update as and when.
With great sadness I have to report that my friend and founder member of the Hollies, bassist Eric Haydock, passed away yesterday. He was found sitting in his chair in front of his TV and the early indications are that he passed peacefully. R.I.P. Eric.
@JohnLodgeMusic Hi John. Music adoration aside for the moment, friend & neighbour of Jess C, work with and for him occasionally, 50 years playing & singing with tales to share and would be pleased to be in touch. PS Not a WR but I'm with the other order.
