Dave had been in poor health these past few years and had to quit performing to avoid contact with fellow performers. I imagine it was auto-immune issues related to his cancer treatments. Attended the 50th Anniversary Strawbs Weekender in 2019. What a Fantastic experience.
RIP Dave.https://www.strawbsweb.co.uk/index0.asp (https://www.strawbsweb.co.uk/index0.asp)
Thanks for posting this. The history of the Strawbs is always interesting to re-read. Sandy Denny, Rick Wakeman, Hudson & Ford; and of course Dave Cousins.
