John Spinks Rest In Peace Songwriter and guitarist for The Outfield, John Spinks has passed away at age 60 from liver cancer.

I thank them for the great music which became the soundtrack of my youth. We send our deepest condolences to John’s family and friends. The Outfield posted the following message on their Facebook page: It is with great sadness to inform you that John passed away at 09.55 on Wednesday 9th July 2014. He was 60 years old.
