Story
- Tributes have flooded in from across
the West Midlands to express sadness
at the death of the popular musician
that could turn his voice to any genre
of music.
Fran has been singing for most of his
life and had played with a huge num-
ber of bands and musical collabora-
tions across the country before
returning to playing solo over the last
eight years or so.
Whilst enjoying his solo successes,
Fran had retrained in recent years
achieving a degree and becoming a
Counsellor, a job in which he excelled
and was widely lauded by his peers
for his dedication.
With a permanent smile and an infec-
tious laugh Fran was loved by all and
his passing has left a hole in the
hearts of all who knew him.
