Anthony Paul Mills, den meisten eher nur als Tony Mills bekannt, geboren am 07.07.1962 ist am 18.09.2019 gestorben, so die Mitteilung seiner Ehefrau auf seiner Facebook-Seite:
»It is with a shattered heart that I announce the passing of my loving husband and best friend Tony Mills. He was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in April of this year and lived his life to the fullest until he exhaled for the last time in my arms. He wanted to live, but wasn’t afraid of death.
Most will know him through his incredible contribution to the music world as a singer in bands like Shy and TNT as well as a solo artist and session vocalist. He leaves behind him a legacy that will live on for many lifetimes.
Those people closest to him will also know him as a gentle and kind soul, a dedicated husband with a love for the quiet life, his animals and his motorbikes. His sense of humour was always on point. His last summer was the happiest in his life, at the end of each day he exclaimed "It’s been another fantastic day!" He spent a lot of time in his workshop fixing up his dirtbike so he could ride it later this autumn. The evening before he passed, he managed to whisper:
"I’ve had a good life. I’ve had a GOOD life. I’m just a bit pissed about the bike." Linda Mills«
Der in Birmingham, England geborene Tony Mills stieg 1983 bei der Glam Rock-Band Shy ein. Für diese sang er auf acht Scheiben. Andere kennen ihn als Frontmann der norwegischen Band TNT. Er war noch bei weiteren Bands und auch solo aktiv.
Nun wurden (nicht nur seine musikalischen) Aktivitäten jäh beendet. Im April 2019 bekam er die Diagnose, Bauchspeichelkrebs im Endstadium zu haben. Er kostete daher den Sommer 2019 so gut wie möglich aus – doch den Herbst sollte er nicht mehr erleben.
R.I.P Tony … möge woanders ein Bike warten….
