CONWAY SAVAGE
Our beloved Conway passed away on Sunday evening. A member of Bad Seeds for nearly thirty years, Conway was the anarchic thread that ran through the band’s live performances. He was much loved by everyone, band members and fans alike. Irascible, funny, terrifying, sentimental, warm-hearted, gentle, acerbic, honest, genuine – he was all of these things and quite literally «had the gift of a golden voice,» high and sweet and drenched in soul. On a drunken night, at four in the morning, in a hotel bar in Cologne, Conway sat at the piano and sang Streets of Laredo to us, in his sweet, melancholy style and stopped the world for a moment. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
Goodbye Conway, there isn’t a dry eye in the house. Love, Nick and the Bad Seeds.

«It’s a beautiful relaxation,» Savage said during a 2005 interview with Fairfax Media, about his long-time passion for playing piano. «I could just sit down and play it and play it,» he said.

Outside of the Bad Seeds, Savage released a pair of solo albums (2000’s Nothing Broken and 2004’s Wrong Man’s Hands) and featured in a number of Australian bands in the Eighties, including Dust on the Bible, the Feral Dinosaurs and the Happy Orphans, the latter two also featuring Dirty Three drummer Jim White.
