Sad news for Simply Red. Our dear friend and col­league Dave Clayton has announced that he no longer wishes to tour and is inev­it­ably leav­ing the band. We fully respect his decision. Tour­ing is a chal­lenge even for young bucks! Dave is a lovely, admir­able human being who we under­stand wishes to spend more qual­ity time with his delight­ful part­ner Sue. All at Simply Red wish him a pros­per­ous and happy future and thank him for his won­der­ful con­tri­bu­tion over many years.
