"Bongo” Starkie has passed away.  For the past year he has fought the brave fight against Leukemia hoping to get back on the road to perform more shows. Music was in his blood till the very end.
Bob was the guitarist in the iconic Skyhooks, the youngest in the band and he embraced the theatrics from striking facial make up to unique stage costumes. R.I.P. Bongo :(

On dear.  :(

My favourite memory of Bongo [Star] was his famous coughing solo on the Let It Rock EP.

RIP Robert John Starkie
