They May Be Parted

@theymaybeparted.bsky.social

Gutted to learn Gilson Lavis has left the material world. Squeeze has been such a formative influence & inspiration on me since I was a teenager, and it was a privilege to have seen him play with them live so many times (and with Jools Holland solo, where I took this). An incredible drummer. RIP 🙏🥁

Some news stops you in your tracks. Unbelievably sad to hear the Squeeze legend, Gilson Lavis has died.

For fans, Gilson will forever be the heartbeat of the band. A giant of a drummer in one of the greatest ever British groups.
