[Vexed]

  Sad indeed. Saxon wrote this song in 1986 about lost musicians. 

               Requiem (We Will Remember) - Saxon            

"This song's a celebration
Of what you gave to us
The legacy you left still marches on
But still they play your music
All around the world
Blasting through the airwaves
To the stars"
