Soulhustler Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 All who know Max, He was rushed into hospital from Brookfields last night with heart problems and put into intensive care. I have spoken with Linda his wife this morning and it seems he was caught at the right time, and is being kept in for observation because his oxygen levels are low. In typical Max fashon he was worried about a booking he has today !!. I will be round his house tonight and will post up later how he is getting on as only family is allowed in intesive care. Im sure you will all want to wish him well and a speedy recovery. Ken & Claudette

Goldsoul Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Absolutely stunned! We were only chatting at the Torch revival late last year and he looked tip top. He reminded me of the terrible Jewels track We Got Togetherness I broke at Station Rd in 74. He sold it to me. A true gent and one of the great West Midlands legends. Cue...Neil R with a full obit? RIP- From Sam and Kev at Goldsoul
