More sad news mate and mores the pity, that they weren't able to come over to the UK,when they were due....Condolences ....

Arrived back from Detroit yesterday with sad news Percy Williams from The Metros passed away . This was my main reason to go to Detroit to visit a dear friend , I managed to vist percy last thursday and although he could hardly speak he gave me a smile , it would have been percy's birthday later this week and his family was planning a birthday party but as myself and Burnley Dave was leaving Monday night so the family decided to bring it forward to sunday night but with in 10 mins of arriving on sunday Percy sadley passed away .. such a heart breaking experaince . My prayers and thoughts go to Percy's family ..RIP PERCY your music will live on .

Sad News Indeed Mate!! R.I.P.

What a beautiful voice he had. It saddens me that so many of my music associates and part of the Pied Piper family are leaving. This seems to be a revolving door in the past couple of weeks. I thought that The Metros had made it over the Atlantic. It saddens me that they didn't, you would have enjoyed them.

My condolences to his family.

Very sad news, and like Chalky say's such an emotional thing to witness first hand. He was a great man, and he left behind a fantastic music legacy that will live on. As Lorraine says, part of the fabulous Pied Piper arrangement, left us all so much.

R.I.P. Percy, love from Dave.

Yes wilxy shame it never happend due to a few reasons I was with Joe and Alfred on sunday night they both regret coming over as planned .. I have a few idea's for next year regarding The Metro's , Lorraine yes Percy did come to the uk 2007 with The Elgin's when we reformed them to appear at the Northampton weekender he filled in for Johnny Dawson who due to health reasons could not make it . Percy really felt the love what he recived when he was here ..in fact he could not belive everyone was talking to him about The Metro's .

More sad news RIP Percy.

Sad News. Condolances to Percy's family. A great voice gone.
