Terry Reid, a musician, lost his battle with cancer. Due to his cancer treatment, the hitmaker, who was affectionately known as Super Lungs for his voice, had to reschedule a tour last month.

A statement from the beginning of July read, “Terry has had to postpone his autumn 2025 UK, Irish, and Norway due to medical issues arising from recent treatment for cancer.” Due to the success of his 2024 tour and his eager anticipation for his first ever dates in Norway, Terry is especially upset about this.

We wish Terry a quick recovery and will provide information on rescheduled 2026 dates in due course. Joe Bonamassa, the late star’s executor, has led the tributes. He passed away at the age of 75. Goodbye my friend, Bonamassa said in a moving social media statement. I had the pleasure of getting to know you as a friend and musical mentor. I’m going to miss Palm Springs’ hangs and stories. One of the best people and souls to have ever done it. Terry Reid, rest in peace. On this terrible day, I send my sincere condolences to his family.

Fans from all over the world have flooded in since the news of Terry’s passing. One person remarked, “F**k, Terry was awesome.. I’m happy that you will carry on his amazing guitar, dammit, that’s so sad to hear. He leaves a remarkable legacy, he continued to write, “A sad day. A wonderful tribute to Joe.

I extend my condolences to Terry’s family. A third person predicted that Terry will always have the guitar as a connection. A fourth heartbroken fan responded, “My heart goes out to you, his family, and a lifetime of fans.”

Terry, who was born in Cambridge, rose to the top of the class with offers to play in Led Zeppelin and Rod Evans’ Deep Purple songs, who had previously been offered to play in the iconic band.

He was also known for his influence in the mid-1960s, when he joined Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers in promoting the Rolling Stones during their 1966 tour. Jimmy Page, a member of Zepplin, almost recruited him at this time.

Terry said in 2023, “I was very friendly with Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones.” Keith asked me to play The Stones in the United States, but Jimmy later asked me to join his new band. I ripped off.

I ultimately put the ball in Jimmy’s court. You’d better get in touch with Keith and let him know I’m not leaving. However, Jimmy bottled it up. He claimed that Keith had a reputation and that he was not having him shoot me in the leg. I ended up traveling to America with the Stones. At Altamont, I even had a game with them.

He said, “I’m not sure what frame I was in when I was asked to join Deep Purple,” referring to the decision to do so. Ritchie was doing it at first, in my opinion, when. Or perhaps after that. Or perhaps somewhere between. California is vague, and I went there earlier.

“But Blackmore was a brilliant guitarist, wasn’t he? ” In Lord Sutch’s Savages, I spotted him. Sutch used an axe to fend off him as he walked around the stage. However, Ritchie didn’t ever miss a note, which is not easy. not when you are about to be beheaded. Being a member of that band, Blackmore did a terrible job.
