Passed away aged 72. Music is timeless but always liked Highfly. Sad times.

Oh no ... I saw John Miles 3 or 4 times back in the late 70's in Bournemouth.

Loved seeing him stood front of stage centre with his Gibson Les Paul.

Some obvious classics ... but his album Zaragon is superb.

R.I.P.

Very sad.

I saw him at the Reading festival, 1977(?).
He played Music sat at a piano, with his Les Paul guitar across his lap.

I went out as soon as I got home and bought his Rebel album.

RIP John.

Such sad news.

Rebel, Zaragon, Stranger in the City - 3 fantastic albums. Music was his famous track, but other superb pieces include No Hard Feelings, Nice Man Jack, Remember Yesterday, High Fly, Plain Jane........... I could go on. He also did some great stuff with The Alan Parsons Project.

Thank you for all the listening pleasure, I only wish I had seen you on stage. RIP John.
