fake news. Mel Collins is well. Sorry for my mistake

[JF]

I will never forget his playing on Tunnel of love, Portobello Belle, Going Home, Solid rock, two young lovers... and also The Core by EC.

I saw him live with King Crimson in 2019 https://www.francetvinfo.fr/culture/musique/rock/magma-et-king-crimson-2-geants-aux-nuits-de-fourviere-a-lyon_3519041.html

According to FB Worldwide Group that news was wrong!
Let’s hope this is true and Mel is fit and healthy

[JF]

I am confused

I thought that Joop de Korte was reliable...

[JF]

I am very sorry for this fake news

Seing that on official Joop de Korte official FB account, I thought it was true

[JF]

it seems that Ron Eve did the mistake

Looks like an original King Crimson member, who played sax, died, so probably that's the reason why Ron Eve missunderstood who was, told Joop, and he published about it on facebook, and the rest of us, believed him, as nobody expects Joop to publish something like that if it's not true...

Happily, it is not true!, at least for Mel, not for the original Crimson member

yes Ian Mc Donald. But he passed away on 9th february ! almost one month ago ! strange that Ron and Joop talk about that yesterday !

Is it just me, or does it almost seem like Guy’s answer to a post about Mel seemed that he was saying “thank goodness” to the news that Mel had passed away?
Before we knew it was fake?

Just read Joop saying that Ron Eve readed an obituary of someone called Mel Collins and they thought it was the saxophonist!
