Default Re: David Rea, "First" Lead Guitar Player for Lightfoot, Passes Away

there's a story about a drug bust...the folks David was renting to, had some operation going and so Rea was deemed responsible, according to police

he was going to be hauled away, when Tyson boldly intervened with police and let them know of all the money he had tied up in their current recording session...he asked if they could wait and take David away AFTER the session was through, lol

it's said that Ian offered the boys beers as well...anyhow, they actually did let the session finish before they arrested David

Rea's (apparently well off) parents came up from the States for support and once the assembled defense had their say, it was shown that David had nothing to do with the operation under his roof, and he was free to go
