UFO keyboard player/rhythm guitarist Paul Raymond has died at the age of 73.
He suffered a massive heart attack on April 13. His partner Sandra broke the news as follows:
“With a desperate and broken heart, fully in tears and pains that feel like they will kill me I have to tell you that my most beautiful and beloved darling Paul Raymond has passed away today.
“The doctors we’re trying to reanimate him and with success at first but then his system shot down again and there was nothing more they could do for him, he died of a heart attack.
“He absolutely enjoyed the last couple of weeks touring with UFO in the UK & Ireland and he was looking forward to the rest of this year’s tour.
“I will always love him and I hope he will rest in piece until I’ll see him again on the other side!!!
“I love you so much Paul.”
