Renowned Rock Musician Spencer P Jones Has Passed Away

Acclaimed guitarist Spencer P Jones is confirmed to have passed away on Tuesday after he was revealed to have been diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer and was in palliative care in June.

In a post written by Jones' wife Angie to the Spencer P Jones & The Escape Committee Facebook page, it was confirmed Jones had "passed away peacefully earlier this evening".

"It was truely [sic] beautiful & he is now at peace with his brothers in arms Brian H Hooper & Ashley Morgan Jones," the post reads.

"I feel completely exhausted and lost right now, the journey has been a long one for us both. I miss him soo [sic] much already, Sooo [sic] lost for words."

In 2016 a string of benefit shows were held in honour of Jones, to raise funds when the artist was battling a serious illness that left him unable to work. 

Jones previously played with bands including The Johnnys, Paul Kelly & The Coloured Girls and The Cuban Heels.
