B. Newark-on-Trent, England

Statement from Vardis:
We are saddened to announce the tragic loss of Terry
Horbury, who passed away peacefully yesterday in Chelsea and Westminster
Hospital, aged 65, after a short battle with cancer.
Many of his generation had their lives changed by music in
the 1960s, but Terry’s first Cream gig in ’67 started him down a path which
encompassed 50 years and 60 bands, including Dirty Tricks, Winner, McKitty,
Ozzy Osbourne, Strategy, K.M.T., Paddy Goes To Holyhead, Outskirts of Infinity
and Cream Revival Band among many others. He brought joy to so many people
through his musical talent and lifelong dedication to his craft.
Family, friends and all who knew him will remember Terry
as a man who was honest, loyal and a true gentleman - a genuine friend and
friend of the Earth.
Rock on Terry... you will always be with us.
Steve & Joe... Vardis.
Terry was a gifted musician and an exceptional man, whose
talent for bass guitar ran deep throughout a 50 year musical career. His
genuinely gentle, honest demeanor was obvious to all who met him, and his
imaginative ideas and creative instinct were second to none. Terry had no ego
and was always a man of truth, peace, kindness and integrity, with no other
agenda but to care for nature, animals and play music.
It has been my privilege to work and perform with Terry
many times over the years, recording 2 albums and 2 EPs with him. Terry was a
truly great person - a gentleman, wit and artist who was musically at the top
of his game this past year. His physical presence at his last public
performance at Bush Hall less than five months ago was a sight to behold,
making the speed with which he was taken from us all the more shocking.
Terry was without doubt the bravest man I have ever met
and a true Rock Warrior.
He asked me to send you all this message:
"MY ROAR WAS LONG & LOUD"
Love you forever Terry,
Steve Zodiac
