We’ve received several questions about the dates displayed on the tribute image on the homepage, particularly regarding the years 1959-2024. Some have mistakenly assumed that John passed away in 2025, when the news was first announced. To clarify: John passed away in late December 2024, but the announcement wasn’t made until 2025. As a result, some media outlets have incorrectly reported his passing as occurring in January 2025, which is not accurate.

Please disregard any rumours circulating about tributes, funerals, or memorial services. The only official and accurate information regarding these matters will come from this website and John’s official social media channels (linked from this website).

We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Since sharing the news of John's passing, we’ve been overwhelmed with an outpouring of love and support for John and his family. Fans and artists from all over the world have come together online to honour him and express what he truly meant to them. There's no doubt that John would be deeply touched by these heartfelt tributes, and I imagine wherever he is, he’s looking down with a smile on his face. He always cherished his fans and was incredibly grateful for their support throughout his entire career.

I'm sure there are many questions that everybody has as to where we go from here. Rest assured as a family we will be looking to ensure that John continues to be celebrated and his name forever spoken.

We can't thank you enough for the messages of support. We will be in touch with more news soon.

Farewell to Taylor Hawkins, a phenomenal drummer, gone too soon. RIP

To all fellow guitar players out there, I’ve been using the EVH 5150lll amps and cabs for quite some time now and highly recommend this gear. I’ve been using a combination of the EVH 5150lll Stealth amps with the EVH 5150lll EL34 amps and 4x12 cabs. These amps are incredibly versatile and sound amazing!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am very picky when it comes to my guitar tone and do not recommend or endorse equipment that I do not use. Check these amps out and I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do.

Dear John Sykes fans. We regret to announce that our partnership with Golden Robot Records has ceased.

Unfortunately after the signing, contractual agreements were unfulfilled by Golden Robot Records and there was little attempt to move things forward despite our best efforts and patience. When written contracts revert to unfulfilled verbal promises all integrity in a company becomes lost. We simply cannot work this way.

We want the fans to understand that we are fully aware of the frustration this will cause. We now feel that the best course of action is to release the album under our own control.
