30 years since his initial diagnosis. So sad. I've been following his wife Jules' fb posts - truly moving. I think MP played Cropredy with Big Country - or did I dream that? RIP Mike. Yes, he did. I also saw him with the Alarm at The Leadmill - a little sweaty club - in Sheffield not long after I got to Uni there in 1984. Then a year or so later at the City Hall, after the release of Strength. They were quite the band back then. RIP Mike |

This is what his son posted on fb.
With an extremely heavy heart, I’m letting you all know that my beloved father, the great Wizz Jones, passed away early this morning, two days after his 86th birthday. His loss has left a huge hole in the lives of our family and has robbed the music world of one of its precious treasures. His health declined rapidly this year and we thank Trinity Hospice for making his last few days as comfortable as possible. Always a humble man, these were his closing words at the end of his last ever gig earlier this year, February 28th 2025: “Thanks to all the people - all over the world in fact - that heard my songs and my guitar playing, and came to my gigs for all those years. Thank you very much.” Here’s a song from that gig, written by his life-long dear friend Alan Tunbridge. Wizz was worried about disappointing the audience with his now weak singing voice, but even more worried about letting them down by not showing up… Spoiler alert – it’s a bit of a tear-jerker. I hope his wonderful music will live on and continue to make the world a richer place. Thank you for all the love you’ve given him through the years. - Simeon https://soundcloud.com/simeon-jones-913147245/see-how-the-time-is-flying |

Very sad. He was at the centre of it all with Ralph, Bert and John, and all the others. I feel he wasn't credited enough. Lovely story teller and musician. Lucky to have seen him back in the 80s and then a few years ago at the Wychwood club. Fabulous musician who didn't seem to chase fame. |
