She also did a documentary on Brian Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ontarian1981   10 #11 Posted February 10, 2018 one of those sex pistols moments, where suddenly everybody had been to the gig that was attended by about 10 people lol  A former workmate of mine showed me a picture of himself, his wife and all 3 members of the Police sat at a table in a pub, late 70's early 80's. They had had their first couple of hits in North America and were running through some routines in this bar in Toronto ahead of a big concert in town. You could see the name of the bar "The Horseshoe' in the background, but you couldn't see anybody at the bar or at the other tables. He told me there were about a dozen other customers there. However when the news broke later 100's of people had been there that night LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
