THE TUBES PAY TRIBUTE TO TRAGIC WELNICK

THE TUBES frontman FEE WAYBILL brought a colourful gig in Agoura Hills, California to a standstill on Friday night (21Mar08) by paying a twisted tribute to late bandmate VINCE WELNICK. The veteran rocker told fans at the Canyon Club he was still coming to terms with the keyboard player's 2006 suicide, and felt angry his old pal took his life before approaching his pals with his troubles. Waybill explained, "He didn't come to us for help. I don't know whether to be p**sed off or sad." He then dedicated I Don't Wanna Wait Anymore - a song Welnick wrote for The Tubes - as a tribute to the keyboard player. Welnick, who also performed with Todd Rundgren and the Grateful Dead, died in Sonoma County, California at the age of 55.
