I have a terrible record with the Roses; I was at Spike Island (which was the penultimate gig before Reni left), I saw them at Wembley Arena (the last gig before John left) and I was at the Reading festival gig (the last they ever did and one of the most heartbreaking events of my life).
It was almost like a countdown: two to go, one to go, none to go, gone!
I also happened to stumble into the press mobbing them outside Wolverhampton Magistrates Court after the Silvertone/paint court case.
I blame myself. You always hurt the ones you love.
