From the BBC:
Guitarist and singer Micky Jones, one of the founders of Welsh prog rock band, Man, has died aged 63.
With Merthyr Tydfil-born Jones, the band had four Top 40 UK albums from the late 1960s and toured across Europe and America, where admirers included Frank Zappa.
Friend and former colleague Phil Little said Jones had a “command of melody” and was “the most humble guy”.
Jones, who had been fighting a brain tumour, died at a care home in Swansea.
Mr Little, who played with Jones in the 1980s with the London-based The Flying Pigs, said Frank Zappa once described Jones as “one of the 10 best guitarists in the world”.
