"I'm very sad to report that Gilson Lavis my dear friend and long-standing drummer passed away at his home in Lincolnshire last night.
On behalf of my Orchestra, Squeeze, the many musicians who have worked with and befriended Gilson over the years and all the people
he has supported through the AA fellowship, I send our love and sympathy to Nikki and Gilson, his dear wife and son" – Jools.
