From Planet Gong Site:
Hugh Hopper passed away the afternoon of Sunday 7th June. Our thoughts and love go out to his wife Christine, their young daughter Rosa, and to all Hugh's close family and friends. He was a lovely, unassuming, gently humorous man who was always a joy to be with - and of course he
was a unique, stunning, innovative and creative musician.
As we reached Fasano for Friday's Gong concert Daevid told me he had received a message that Hugh reached his final hours and very early Monday morning, as we queued for US work visas, we heard the news that he had gone. Daevid just quietly said that besides Robert, Hugh had
been the person he had played music with the longest. He will be so missed.
