Steve Priest, the founding member of glam rock hitmakers Sweet who performed on 'Ballroom Blitz' and 'Fox on the Run,' has died at age 72
Steve Priest, founding bassist and singer for "Ballroom Blitz" glam rock band Sweet, has died at the age of 72.Priest’s family confirmed his death on social media Thursday. No cause of death was revealed, but guitarist Andy Scott — the last surviving member of the band’s classic lineup — said “his health was failing” recently.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce at 8:25am PT today, Steve Priest, founding member of The Sweet, passed away,” Priest’s family. “He is survived by his wife, Maureen, three daughters, Lisa, Danielle & Maggie and 3 grandchildren, Jordan, Jade & Hazel.” “He was the best bass player I ever played with. The noise we made as a band was so powerful,” Scott added in. “From that moment in the summer of 1970 when set off on our Musical Odyssey the world opened up and the rollercoaster ride started! He eventually followed his heart and moved to the USA. First New York then LA. Rest in Peace brother. All my love.”
Sweet’s hit-making classic lineup formed in 1970, when Scott joined Priest, drummer Mick Tucker and singer Brian Connolly. One of the signature acts of the Seventies glam rock scene, Sweet released a string of hit singles over the course of the decade, which the band partly spent as the studio entity for the songwriting duo Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, who wrote the band’s hits “Wig-Wam Bam,” “Little Willy,” “Co Co” and “Ballroom Blitz.
