Former Samson bassist and founder member Chris Aylmer passed away on 9th January 2007.
Thunderstick has made the following statement.

Chris "Oscar Wilde" Aylmer was a very underrated bass player, and the solid foundations that he put down in Samson gave me the freedom to play in my own unique way.

Thanks for being John Entwistle to my Keith Moon Chris. You will be sadly missed.
