If you haven’t already heard the news, I’m so sad and sorry to let you know that my bandmate Danny (of Tracyanne & Danny), after a 16 month illness, passed away yesterday at St Peter’s hospice in Bristol. He was surrounded by his close family including his wife Louise, their two sons, his Mother, Father and his sisters.

If you have anything to spare, I would be so grateful if you’d consider donating to St Peter’s Hospice who took wonderful care of him and his loved ones in his final hours.

Danny was such a beautiful man. Amongst other things, he was likeable, friendly, funny, warm, kind, musical, stylish, thoughtful, caring, dignified and brave, and he brought true happiness and joy into any room he walked into.

On Danny’s behalf I would like to thank everyone who has ever listened to our music or come to one of our shows, he genuinely loved and cherished the opportunity to travel and come out to play for you all.

We had such a positive time together writing songs and making music, and I will forever treasure the opportunity I had to become his writing partner for a while, but mostly I am grateful to have become his good friend, a friendship that will forever remain precious to me.

He was my favourite Silly Billy and I will always remember him with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye.

My heart goes out to all who loved him, especially his wife Louise, their two beautiful boys, his parents, sisters and their own families.

Lots of lovely love to you Danny - champion of the world. You made my world a better place and you brought out the best in me. You were all the good things a person could be.

Thank you in advance everyone for your donations

Tracyanne
