In Loving Memory Of Steve Priest ✝ Bassplayer Of The Sweet Rest In Peace

[@ImFome]

Thank you for the tribute to my grandad! Jordan.

[@peterstroud1528]

Caring & helpful to fans,even out of his way to be kind.Such a good & principled person.Valued time bringing up his dear daughter.A promotional for a music store around the GTA,early 1980's- demonstrating playing the key boards with the many instruments there,later playing a little of the Sweet numbers for teen fans then.I will forever remember his kind nature.They had a great hold on the future as Sweet is a great band to find and rediscover even again and again.Thank you for the tribute,May God keep his family dear,RIP.

[@martinavandeweghe1870]

He was my favorite in the group SWEET! I loved to see and hear him perform. He was always so happy, loved his antics! Such a great loss of a great man!

[@cherylsimber5830]

Your grand dad was an icon and a legend!

[@ugurgorgulu5659]

Why am I crying? He died at the age of 72, which is considered a long life. Moreover, he lived the way he wanted, made his music, until the very end. But still, there is a deep pain inside me, piercing my heart. It's as if he could have lived even more, maybe even reunited with Andy and sung those legendary songs. That was my hope, but he died and my hope vanished... Everything has an end. In the 70s, when I heard the name Sweet, my mind would go wild. Was there anyone who didn't envy Brian's long hair? Can anyone forget Steve supporting Brian's vocals as a second vocalist and his unique tonality? Or Mick's amazing drumming and his distinctive stick twirling? Who wouldn't remember Andy's extraordinary guitar riffs? Andy celebrated his 74th birthday. The last surviving member of the original lineup of Sweet. I hope he lives a lot longer and continues to create. I will never forget Steve. I will never forget his baby face. I will always remember these extraordinary guys in every aspect. Dear Steve, death is an experience that everyone will go through, but when someone who contributed to the world of art passes away, regardless of their age, it hurts. The world of art is grateful to you. You did your best in your worldly experience. I wish you success in your new life with Brian, Mick and the others, you beautiful soul.

[@wellitsjustannie]

Your comment is very beautiful and touching. I'm too young to know what it must be like to have grown up with these legends and to see Brian, Mick and Steve pass, like the end of an amazing era, one by one.💔 I am forever grateful for Andy Scott! He has this bright fire within him that just keeps on burning. I turned 23 this June and my birthday gift to myself was tickets to "Sommarrock" a rock festival in Svedala close to where I live in Sweden. It's now been a week since I saw Sweet in real life for the first time. It was absolutely magical. He's found himself a group of really talented musicians to back him up and I was honestly just as amazed by them as I was by Scott himself! It was the coolest experience of my life. The people there were just like you, long term fans of Sweet and their kids and grand kids. The energy of the crowd was awesome. Sweet truly has the sweetest fans! As long as Andy is healthy I think he will continue doing his thing. One can really sense his deep passion. Sadly Connolly, Tucker and Priest is no longer with us here on earth but they will forever be with us in their legendary music. Sweet will never truly die.❤️

[@juliathomas1255]

Steve ,- Always the misc hievous one 🤣😉…… a great musician with a great sense of humour…… The Sweets music was the soundtrack of my childhood years and fond memories of happy times watching on TOTP with my parents on Thursday evenings ….. watching my Dad rolling his eyes at the clothes and make up but still tapping his foot to the music🤣🤣……. But I thought they were all great …. And still do !! …. Still listening in 2023 and even my grown up boys know all the songs 👍👍Thank you for the music boys you definitely will never be forgotten x

[@joeguerra8435]

“Don’t give up” … sage words for all of us to keep living our lives to the fullest. Don’t give up.

[@wellitsjustannie]

As long as we keep going and stay stubborn we can do anything. Steve was a wise man with a fulfilled life behind his words.

[@kempman9811]

Thank you Steve, Brain, Mick and Andy. I was 10 years old, sitting in front of the radio and Block Buster! blows me away. Teenage Rampage, my all time fav. Actin, Ballroom Blitz and so many more. The Sweet is on my playlist up to now. Fantastic, timeless music. So sad that only Andy is alive, but I hope he is well for many more years. Cheers to my heroes of the 70th

[@evgeny9999]

*"Are you ready, Steve?" "Uh-Huh"* Thanks for everything, Steve. For those who love Sweet, you will always be ready. R.I.P. Steve Condolences to Steve's family 💔 from Israel.

[@chrisc9389]

Beautiful tribute to the man, the myth, the legend! My girlfriend arranged for him to call me on my birthday as I was a HUGE SWEET fan and Steve was on AOL from time to time. She reached out to him never speaking to him before and he said he would be happy to do this. Such a great guy. Wish I could have met him in person. Thanks for all the amazing music that will live on forever. RIP

[@wellitsjustannie]

Awh, that's just lovely to hear and I'm so jealous of you! Steve seemed to be such a genuinely nice man and very down to earth despite his fame and success. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching my tribute!🙏

[@sandraoyns-wilson6098]

So telented and what a great sense of humore.😊 the smiles and facial expressions were an addition to the music,He will always make me smile.SO SO GOOD.Thank you Steve for the great Sweet.

Thinking of you often Steve,I’m 65 years old but i still listen to you and the band every day, you were one of my favorites when i was young and you still are. I moved to Boston Massachusetts 21 years ago and i was surprised how popular and well known the band are here,although i should not be surprised the band was the best around at the time,hope Annie is happy and healthy,thinking of the family every day ❤ ❤ ❤😊😊😊😢

[@martinawagner4464]

RIP lieber Steve und danke für alles was Du den Fans gegeben hast. 💕🎸💥 Nun bist Du schon 2 Jahre mit Brian und Mick wieder vereint. Ihr 3 seid unvergessen und fehlt uns sehr🎶🎤🥁🎸❤️😥💥💯💥

[@georgealderson4424]

A gentle, modest man. May he rest in peace.

[@debbiescott6732]

Um, Steve was the best, but modest? Did you read his book? It's out of print for awhile now. But many people have commented on it and I'm pretty sure Steve was not modest. He did have a kind heart. He was my favorite Sweet band member. I regret I didn't get to meet him. He'll always be loved & remembered.

[@darykinnaman2319]

Steve was my favorite member of The Sweet. He seems to have so much talent and he was a great singer too. RIP buddy.

[@pamelalybarger7298]

[@DGMusicme]

I was brought up with the fantastic Sweet,and when i say fantastic, that is probably an understatement. Steve passed away the day after my 60th Birthday,and it broke my heart when i heard the news. R.I.P Steve my friend, you legend of a man, and thank you for all the music you gave me.👠👠

[@wellitsjustannie]

They were so great! So sad to hear that, it was 3 days before my birthday he left us and it was not fun at all. I've been a fan for 9 years and if I got sad I can't even imagine how it felt for you who grew up with them.💔

[@darrenlittleton-df5cr]

What a awesome tribute to a fantastic man. You are missed by all.of us who you touched with your music.

Hi Annie, what a fabulous tribute to Steve Priest from Sweet. You have done an exceptional job of putting this Montage of photos together. So sad to see his down hill of his illness. Always loved him in Sweet, I do believe he was always the funny naughty one, he was brilliant. Love from Australia 🇦🇺🎸🎤💖💛💚💜❤😊

What illness did he have, I caught the crush late. I had plans to see them in Vegas in 11/2020 , but covid took it away from me

[@Tamesis66]

Beautiful tribute! He is missed & still loved by so many! R.I.P.

[@Mick_Ts_Chick]

Thank you for your thoughtful tribute. The candle was a nice touch. Steve was Mr. Personality and had a great sense of humor. I always enjoyed watching him play bass because he was so versatile. His interactions with Brian in the songs were always fun! He and Mick made a powerhouse of a rhythm section too. He is missed, along with Mick and Brian. Thanks for posting. 💝

[@wellitsjustannie]

Yes I love their wholesome interactions on stage as well, sometimes in videos of Sweet on stage you could see Steve saying something and the faces of the other members lit up and they laughed like never before. He seemed like genuinely nice man and I don't think fame ever got the best of him like it does for some people who just change and think they're suddenly better than ordinary people. It seems he never saw himself as bigger or better, he was just an ordinary guy with a band. That's at least what I gathered from listening to him talking in interviews. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching my tribute.🙏

[@vickiejarrett2903]

Thank you for the music RIP. FRIEND

Thank you for this beautiful tribute. We oftentimes never realise how important people are until they are gone, how forgetful we can be. Thankfully the music, the soundtrack to my early teens and countless of others, is still alive, still filled with memories, still making the heart glad. Thank you Steve, thank you Sweet for all you gave, somehow time and distance has made the memories all the sweeter …

Hi Annie, can't believe I missed this video when it first came out. I'll never forget June 4, 2020 when the announcement showed up on KZbin. I was shocked and it's the first time I ever cried for someone I never met. Plus I was angry he died, it shouldn't have happened to such a beautiful guy who was loving his band and having a great time. This is a wonderful video and tribute to a man I wish I could have met. Thank you. ❤👩‍🦳💔
