Here is a tribute to Mike Smith, of the sixties band Dave Clark Five, who sadly passed away on the 28th February aged 64.
Smith was due to travel to New York to be inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10th, with his former band mates.
He had been in hospital since September 2003 following a spinal cord injury that left him a tetraplegic. He was released in December when he moved to a specially-prepared home near the hospital with his wife.
He died yesterday from pneumonia at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
