HEROES NEVER DIE 
(special tribute page)  

 
 Bryan Josh at the end of Heroes Never Die  
at Rotherham on 14th April 2007 
(also the birthday of Bryan's hero, Ritchie Blackmore.)  
 
During the song, unbeknown to Bryan, my father,  
also called Bryan, sadly passed away.

15th January 1927 - 14th April 2007 
 
Close my eyes now, and focus on the light 
You are more beautiful and never out of sight 
And tears that fall are blood from the heart,  
from the moment that we part 
May I offer those tears for the love of the years 
  

We loved you then, we love you still 
And don’t you know, don’t you know, that heroes never die, 
They sail forever
