sad news. Sweet may not be every ones cup of tea but I have long been a fan. 70's glam rock at it's finest. RIP sir, thank you for the music

Aw, that's sad to hear, I love Sweet.

Loved their big hits Oxygen, Ballroom, Fox and Willy

BTW, anybody ever notice Comfortably Numb kinda rips off Fox On the Run ?

I shared this with other engineers where I work. We ended up having a long discussion because they said nobody cares since Sweet is a one-hit-wonder with Ballroom Blitz. I had to educate them that just because they only Sweet song they know was repopularized in the Movie Wayne's World does not mean that was their only hit. Personally I loved Little Willy and I've played drums in enough Bar Bands to know that Fox on the Run has it's own fan base as well. He will be missed. A true showman.

love is like oxygen is a classic, especially the long version

Love Sweet! Even though I let other little kids get under my skin when they used to sing Little Willy to me. Clearly, we didn't listen to the lyrics because Willy was cool! I mean, you can't push him 'round!
