His passing was confirmed by his son, who wrote on Paul's Facebook page: "It is with a heavy heart writing this, today is my dads 66th birthday. He passed away earlier this afternoon. He was a brilliant, energetic, loving and most carefree person and the First man I ever loved. Everyone he came in contact with loved him. no ADORED him. will keep everyone posted on his celebration of life. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers as his family grieves and processes everything at this time. I love you Dad. So much."

OBIT

Very sad news. The UFO albums he is on are amongst their best and tracks from them were played on the band's farewell tour. I will always remember Paul Chapman from the gig at the Colston Hall on the Making Contact tour. They were so good in Cardiff that a friend and I decided to travel to Bristol to see them again shortly afterwards. They did not go down as well in Bristol as Cardiff and my friend and I recieved an on stage acknowledgement from Chapman as we were the only ones at the front with air guitars out.
RIP

But seriously, Dame Vera was truly a legend in her own lifetime and an inspiring figure for several generations.

And 103, respect.

Ian Holme. Perhaps The Madness of King George his finest work but I shall always think of him as Ash in Alien.
