An month ago I saw on Facebook that legendary Britsh rock group the Hollies will no longer be touring as guitarist Tony Hicks has got health issues as he's retires and also drummer Bobby Elliott has also decided to retire which I honestly think that's the right thing to do as the Hollies without Tony but with Bobby were to continue that would not make sense and both of them who have been with the Hollies since 1963 who had continue the band throughout the years which their last shows were in the UK 3 years ago as well as doing the cruise show and they were to due to do one next year but won't be happening now. Both Tony and Bobby had played together in the local Manchester group Ricky Shaw and the Dolphins which Bobby had played with Shane Fenton and the Fentones which had the guy who would become Alvin Stardust as well as other bands The Falcons and an jazz trio as Bobby was into jazz while Tony had played in Les Skifflettes.
