05 June 2020
Steve Priest, the British bassist and singer best known for his stint in the band SWEET, has died at the age of 72.
The news was confirmed on the band’s official Facebook page in a message penned by SWEET’s guitarist Andy Scott.
“I am in pieces right now,” Scott wrote. “Steve Priest has passed away. His wife Maureen and I have kept in contact, and though his health was failing, I never envisaged this moment. Never. My thoughts are with his family.”
The guitarist went on to briefly recall his shared musical history with Priest, referring to him as “the best bass player I ever played with.”
"The noise we made as a band was so powerful," he recalled. "From that moment in the summer of 1970 when set off on our musical odyssey, the world opened up and the roller-coaster ride started!”
