Ced Sharpley R.I.P.

It is with sad heart that news comes in about the passing of Ced Sharpley. Ced was an important part of the Numan band both live and in the studio adding his distinctive drum sound to albums such as "The Pleasure Principle", "Telekon", "Dance" and "Berserker". He was also a founding member of Dramatis alongside Rrussell Bell, Chris Payne and Denis Haines who had recently announced the reunion of the band with a new album coming by the end of the year. Gary Numan posted that "Rrussell Bell has just told me that Cedric has died. I don't know what to say. Shocked and very, very sad."

On behalf of all Numan fans we send our thoughts and best wishes to Ced's friends and family.
