It looks like John Illsley and Greg Pearle put their relationship to end, and apparently in  no good terms...

.........or if something personal happened....

I gave this interpretation to Guy's words; calling someone "persona non grata" leaves no doubts
I love the "Beautiful you" album, but it will be great to have a new John's solo work

That was Gary Grainger with The Gary Grainger Blues Band!   I think Greg Pearle had a drink related problem too though.  :-\

I was very surprised to read such from Guy, used with more diplomatic words from him.

I did not bother asking him more details, I think it tells enough about the situation between the two.

I sent John Illsley an email and got this answer now:
--------------------------------------------------

"Hi Kay thank you I am very well.
Greg and I are taking a break from playing together for a while,and I am presently in the studio working on my next solo project
It should be ready early next year
Kind regards
John"

He also added that maybe it would be guests on his new album!

Great that we have the own John online,  ;D

Should we suggest him to be the support act for MK next tour?
