A touching tribute has been paid to a talented member of a band who died. Russ ‘Sacko’ Saxton returned home from his last gig when he passed away.
Wife Tina Saxton went to bed but Russ decided to made a cup of tea - and he was subsequently found by Tina at 4am that morning. The tragedy has rocked friends of "comedian" Russ, who was a member of popular Sack Sabbath, purportedly Europe's best-known and most authentic tribute to Black Sabbath.
Friend Dan Bird, 36, bassist and now band leader, told Nottinghamshire Live the death was a massive shock and came out of the blue. "I woke up at 9am, and me and my little boy were painting together."
