MICK  ABRAHAMS -  1971  AT LAST (bonus tracks)

Mick Abrahams, a founding member of rock band Jethro Tull, has died at the age of 82.

Posting on the band's official website, lead singer Ian Anderson said he was sorry to hear of the death of the "strong vocalist and experienced, powerful and lyrical guitarist".

He said Luton-born Abrahams had "endured worsening ill health for the last 15 years, leaving him finally unable to perform".

Anderson said Abrahams was "vitally important" to the band's early line-up and developed his musical ideas into a "tour de force display of his instrumental talents for the rest of his performing days".
