Interesting article here.

"The show must go on: when bands replace their dead stars"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jan/27/bands-replacing-dead-rock-stars

Deals predominantly with Big Country / Mike Peters, but also Thin Lizzy etc.

I find this paragraph telling...

'Peters has his own reasons for stepping into the breach, though. "I've beaten cancer twice," he explains. "Now I tend to say yes to things and worry about the consequences afterwards." A piercing-eyed, passionate man, he is adamant this is not a cash-in. "I loved the band and I loved the guy. It was an opportunity to bring all the people together who'd been parted by a death."'

I'm not a fan of Big Country or The Alarm, but I don't doubt Peter's sincerity. Everyone I know who has met him/knows him speaks highly of him.
