Probably my favorite prog rock vocalist from the classic era. Fortunate that I got to see him twice in recent times. He and his bass playing will be missed.

Damn, crazy that in the space of a couple of months we've lost two of the defining voices of Crimson. Hope Adrian Belew is healthy, don't let that prick grim reaper anywhere near you.

Belew is only six months younger than Wetton was, but Wetton had been in poor health for several years, sadly. As far as I know, Belew is fine.
