Remembering Brian Connolly, who left us on this day in 1997...Few frontmen could command a stage like he did, pure style, power, and swagger. Brian will always be one of my favorite frontmen. Gone too soon, but his glam rock spirit lives on...🤍🎤

Today marks the anniversary of the passing of Brian Connolly, the iconic lead singer of the glam rock band The Sweet (often known simply as Sweet). He passed on February 9, 1997, at the age of 51 in Slough, Berkshire, England, from kidney failure, liver failure, and a series of heart attacks. Brian Francis Connolly was born on October 5, 1945, in Hamilton, Scotland (though he grew up in London). He became the charismatic frontman of Sweet from 1968 to 1979, bringing his powerful, distinctive voice and flamboyant stage presence to some of the era’s biggest glam rock anthems. The band exploded with hits like: • Block Buster! • The Ballroom Blitz • Fox on the Run • Teenage Rampage • Love Is Like Oxygen (co-written by the band, showing their evolution from bubblegum glam to harder rock) Sweet sold millions of records and became synonymous with 1970s glam excess— Long (black) hair, platform boots, and infectious hooks. Brian’s blond locks and confident swagger made him a standout. After leaving Sweet, he attempted a solo career and continued performing with his own version of the band (sometimes called Brian Connolly’s Sweet), but health issues took a heavy toll. Despite the challenges, his legacy endures through those timeless tracks that still get crowds singing along. Rest in peace, Brian Connolly—your voice and energy lit up an era of rock ‘n’ roll. 🎤✨ #BrianConnolly #TheSweet #GlamRock #RIP

It was on this day in1980 that the rock world lost AC/DC frontman, Bon Scott. His raw charisma, witty, rebellious lyrics, and gritty vocal style propelled the band to international stardom. He is regarded as one of rock's greatest frontmen.

The style, that strat, the hat, his presence on the stage, his tone, his playing, and all that things reminding you of SRV. He was one of a kind but gone too soon. I admire this guy.

Ppl always talk about great shooters but never mention this dude. Brian Winters could shoot going left, right, on the move, off glass, over both shoulders, catch & shoot; all consistently with a hand in his face. 1 of the best pure shooters ever, yet he’s rarely mentioned.

God is the God of all our days. When I broke my neck, in a season of unknowns, He called me to be still and know. In our uncertainty, we can rest in His truth and promises because our hope isn’t based on circumstances but on His Spirit who lives within us. #LearningInTheJourney

This is for Brian Cooke, better known as Thomas Whitlock on who sadly passed a few days ago. I had the chance to roleplay with Brian for a good part of 2 years at both Hayes and Overboost. He loved this community and he loved his children. Rest in paradise man!

Alex Klinner of Auburn was one of the six service members killed earlier this year during a refueling mission in the Middle East. He was an excellent pilot, but friends say he shone the brightest in his role as a husband and father. We mourn the loss of a young hero gone too soon, but his legacy lives on.
