I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mick Tucker in the summer of 1990 in San Diego, California. He was an amazing person, a real gentleman, and probably the most under-rated drummer in rock history. Truth is, Mick was an AMAZING drummer and will never be forgotten by those that knew the incredible human being and unequaled talent he truly was. Long live his memory and the music of Sweet.

Even when sitting down, Brian's body was visibly shaken by a constant tremor, and not from alcohol (I don't think he even drank any more) but from some disease or form of paralysis he had developed that also affected his severely damaged heart. I can't even imagine the effort he had to make, to move, to sing...There remains a great sense of dignity and tenderness...And yet the smile remained charming, it made you want to hug him.

I'm too young to have seen Sweet performing at their peak but it's so heartbreaking to see Brian like this compared to the videos of him in the early 70s.

However they justify themselves, or talk about their past almost boastfully. Brian no, none of that: two words like a blade of ice and that give the figure of the man: intelligent, sincere about himself to the point of brutality, honest, as humble as he is profound in his understanding of pain. The sensation communicated by this vulnerable being, so fragile in body, is one of great dignity, and of a painstakingly achieved serenity... as only someone who knows suffering can have it...

Do you think the band realised exactly how unwell Brian was and thought it's now or never to attempt a brief reunion? Tragic to compare BC in this interview to how he was only fifteen or so years earlier.

[@garydunn3037]

You could see even then that Brian was not well, he seemed to have the tremors, and looked really uneasy. He had been through quite alot throughout the 1980's with alcoholism, which led to him having multiple heart attacks. I think, after what I have seen and read about him, he was a "Tortured Soul" who was abandoned by his birth Mother, and raised by a foster family. It was only when the Welfare Department called him in aged 18 that he found out his real name was Connolly and his Mother's name was Francis. But he never knew his biological family, and I think it screwed him up quite a bit mentallly, and he turned to the bottle for solace. r.i.p Brian, also Mick and Steve.

From watching a interview w/Brian, he didnt start drinking until the band broke, change can be hell, esp when it leaves you alone. And for his mannerisms .. look back even performing, hes just not much of a gesture type person, kinda reserved, doesnt seem to show emotions much even facially. His shaking started after being hospitalized for phenomena which resulted in getting septicemia .. then the tremors began. Heavy tremors in the interview too .. no stop and worse when under any stressful situation. He could still preform though which he did before the interview. But it was still hard to watch mostly because it seemed like all the life had drained out of him.

Als Brian heraus fand, dass er ein Findelkind war, brach eine Welt für ihn zusammen. All seine Bemühungen seine leibliche Mutter zu finden liefen ins Leere. Ich vermute, dass dies die Wurzel seiner Alkokolerkrankung war. Ich habe Brian leider nie persönlich kennen gelernt, aber ich glaube er war eine Seele von Mensch. Vermisse ihn und werde ihn nie vergessen. Brian war ein ganz Großer ❤❤❤ Iic

Einfach nur traurig 😥 Es bricht mir das Herz 💔, Brian so zu sehen 😢 Wo waren Familie und Freunde, um ihm zu helfen? R.I.P. sweet angel 💕

[@schnuffi1712]

Ja es ist so schlimm Brian 💝 so zu sehen. In diesem Interview wurde er nur ,,,,,, Vorgeführt ,,,,,, Er war da so zerbrechlich 😩 Er war und ist mein Idol 💝 Brian 💝 Unvergessen 💝

[@martinawagner4464]

Ich könnte heulen wenn ich Brian so sehe 😭Ich glaube heute hätte er eher eine Chance, dass ihm geholfen würde. Er war eine zerbrechliche und sensible Seele. Brian wird immer meine Lichtgestalt bleiben unvergessen und hat immer einen Platz in meinem Herzen❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

R.I P. Brain... Thanks for so much...

Brian Connolly was the best .

I went to see these guys in Detroit 1976 ...always had it for Steve Priest ....hoTTTTTTT

[@terrymasters837]

Thanks for bringing this interview. I think they had great influence on a lot of bands. Because they were one of the greatest!

[@alicekilincci9616]

It is so sad Brian had a whole life and died so young!! A lot of original band members have passed!! Sweet was a hell of a band!! Rest On Peace

[@garydunn3037]

They never did really get back together, as history testifies. And now both Brian and Mick are gone. r.i.p. Brian & Mick

[@Magnidude]

These guys were the main inspiration for nobodies like Mötley Crew and they still shine above them and alike. Listen to "Hell raiser" and then to "Kick start my love" and you see the copycats.

[@robbieduffy9998]

Nikki six has said that they nicked the riff off " hellraiser" for kick start....you can hear it a mile away..!!

[@davidbaker1572]

they came to Blackburn in 1990 with this line up Brian was shaking like mad but they were brilliant

[@alisongrace9881]

Really? I'm from Blackburn. Wish I'd have seen them.

[@reclaimerReclaimer]

How long did this reunion last?

[@bullworkerx5959]

It didn't last beyond this interview sadly. They rerecorded a couple of songs in 1988 but due to Brian's health it didn't go any further. The original band certainly didn't play in Blackburn in the 90s. It must have been Brian and his backing band

With out Brian Connolly there is NO THE SWEET !

[@onlyjoetee]

Without ANY of them there is no SWEET that’s what a band means...

[@brian.7966]

one man doesn`t make a band.

[@dynjarren8355]

@@brian.7966 Not the whole band but a big part of it. The Doors without Morrison are subpar. The Stones without Jagger are not the Stones! Brian’s vocals were a huge part of the Sweets sound and success!

[@garydunn3037]

Each of the band members were brilliant in their own right. Brian's vocals, Mick was an Ace drummer, Steve was great on Bass, and Andy's guitar playing was really outstanding. Together they were "Sweet"

[@sallywilliams5444]

@@brian.7966 Well, you have to have a good lead singer and he was great. The would not have been a success without him. He had charisma.

I remember you guys when you came to new Zealand and you played,at the opera house upstairs,i met you all back stage ,and the sense of humour you all had was a crack up ,at the time I was in a band myself,we played on stage ,before you took to the stage ,it was a night I will never forget,in Palmerston north nz kind regards to you all ,from ,(pedro) peter Andrews ,now living in taupo still in new Zealand. cheers guys

Me da pena ver a Brian así pero seguro era el alma de la banda

Completamente de acuerdo👍👍👍👍

[@retorical62]

this is quite sad. they all look out to lunch and Brian's already dying on his feet. fantastic band, i admire them for the fact that they ran with Chinn Chapman hits but still made it their own success... they deserved more for their being uncompromising in the end...

[@MrMickRoo1]

Lovely Brian and Mick

[@sharonanderson8175]

I’ve been reading the reviews. People it was just booze with Brian, he also had I want to say a year full of heart attacks as well as going into a coma. If I recall he also developed Parkinson’s thus the shaking, which he didn’t do will he was singing. All these issues make for a very hard life,I think he played it well to the end. I would love to see the regroup band if they ever go on tour to my area.The Pacific Northwest. Rock on as best you can Steve and Andy you still got it.! RIP Brian and Mick.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

I’m a big fan of theirs and I wish they had hired someone to help them with any transitions they wanted to make. They appear to be the real life Spinal Tap with the countless style and look changes. Although they were all talented enough to go from “Coco” all the way to “no you don’t” and “someone else will” their image was a train wreck through much of it. Watching Brian and Mick walk thru the door was jarring for a band that used image as a tool. It was certainly a tall order to reunite them but, I really believe it could have been done. They could have added an additional guitarist and keyboardist on stage and even had a few backup singers to help Brian and the other guys harmonies. Egos are just so powerful. It’s sad. They just got so old so fast. Brian is 44 years old here. RIP.

[@ВераБурдочкина]

Не надо осуждать любимого Брайна❤! Я считаю что после этой чудовищной ситуации с дракой и травмой любой бы запил, но все же он нашёл силы для дальнейшего продолжения творчества, молодец. И тех виновных что его покалечили, пусть бог накажет, никто ещё не отменял закон бумеранга!!!!

Everything comes to a end 😪 sooner or later at least it has for the sweet 😋😌.only one band member left.but a very good band.😊❤

Tragic how Brian ended up, not the other band members fault. Things happen, just remember them for what thy were. A bloody good band.
