I’ve known Stuart since he was a young boy. He was one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. The world will be a sadder place without you my friend.

RIP the great Stuart Fraser. Guitarist for Noiseworks and John Farnham. One of the best I had ever seen. So kind. So brilliant. A thrill working with him on my Gokd Lovin album. Farewell Chet
