Our plane was just taking off on Sat 4 Sept for our return journey home when we saw the headline in the Express. We looked at each other stunned and shocked - it couldn't be true - we had to read the article several times to try and take it in. Like everyone else we cant believe we will never see Carl on stage again, where he was in his element, giving his all at every performance. We will miss his theatrical mannerisms, that lovely smile, and not forgetting of course his infectious laugh. Carl loved people. He always found "time" for us fans and we thank him for that as they are moments we will always hold dear. Our thoughts are with Sue, Jack and all of Carl's family and friends at this very sad time.

I had the pleasure to see The Hollies on the 10th. of July this year perform in Egersund Norway, and Carl Wayne was a fine replacement for Allan Clarke. I had looked forward to seing The Hollies and Carl again soon, unfortunately this will not happen now. A great singer and entertainer are no longer with us. Rest in peace Carl.

Just another one of the good old singers left. I feel very sad about it but I had the luck to see him with the Hollies in Heppenheim, Germany in June. It was such an amazing performance from him. And for me, an old ELO-Fan such a great surprise to see him live on stage. Without the Move, there wouldn't be no ELO and he was one of them. He gave me many great moments in live with his music, it's so sad not see him singing again or to meet him. Without music there is no chance to survive and your music keeps me alive. God bless him and his family and friends, I'll always remember him.

I'm dizzy... Don't know what to say... Got to see him with The Hollies just this June for the first time - they were fantastic ! And Carl even broke a record - smiled straight into my lens at the very first photo I took - I never met him but he appeared to be a really nice guy... My sincere condolences to his family and the band - PLEASE DON'T STOP NOW - I'm sure he would want you to continue !!!

And to the guys make Carl proud,
Carry on and sing out loud.

Dear Rob, when I heard about Carl's passing, there was shock and numbness first. Then utter sadness with this flashback to the summer of 1967: Carl's Move-Hit "Flowers In The Rain" and The Hollies' "Carrie Anne" happily sitting together on the charts. How fitting it was when both sides joined forces in 2000, and how tragic that "Flowers In The Rain" (which they did together) now accentuates the "Rain" part - the loss of a great frontman, big-hearted family man and ever so friendly backstage charmer. Heartfelt condolences to his wife and son, family and friends as well as the boys in The Hollies and The Move. Carl will live on in our memories and on record.

I've only been able to see my favorite band for forty years twice. Once with Clark/Nash in 83 and again two years ago on the 02 US tour. The concert with Carl at the helm was astonishing. I met both he and Tony after and was impressed by their humility. My prayers go to his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Carl Wayne in March this year after the Hollies show in Stirling. I am proud to have my review and photograph which I took of him published on Wayne's World Web Site. He gave Elaine and I such a warm welcome and we are just so sad but proud at the same time. The Hollies have been close to my heart since 1963 and will always be. Davy

Very Very Sad to hear of the passing of Carl. Being a Born and Bred Brummie I have followed his Career from the early days when he was with the Vikings and when my school friend at the time Jeff Lynne joined up with him in the Move. I was particularly pleased to be able to hear him again fronting a Band when he joined the Hollies and I do believe he gave the group an added dimension, and was not just a replacement for Alan. Please pass on my Sincere Condolences to all his Friends and Family and rest assured his Voice will long live on in the lives of his and The bands Fans for the Memories of Great Nights and his Performances.

My husband and I would just like to say how sorry we are to hear of the death of Carl. ( I heard it on the radio whilst driving home from work, Johnnie Walker on Radio 2 was as shocked and saddened as I was) Would you please pass our condolences on to his wife Sue son Jack and all his family. We had seen Carl play with The Hollies for the first time in Tameside theatre I think it was in 2001 and was amazed how well he fitted in with the rest of the band as, when we arrived at the show we didn't know that Allan was no longer with them! We were certainly not disappointed that night. GOD BLESS YOU CARL :(

I was so shocked when a friend told me today of Carl's sudden death. I am glad that his last illness was not a long one. I am thinking of his lovely Wife and Son, ex-group members, particularly Roy Wood, and of course The Hollies. I am so glad that I saw them performing in Worthing and I thought that the mix of The Hollies and Carl was dynamite. Each gave the other a new dimension. I do hope that The Hollies can continue, partly as a tribute to Carl. What a man, you will not be forgotten.

I was deeply shocked and saddened to learn yesterday (Thursday) of the passing of Carl Wayne, I know he had not been well in recent times, but believed that he had recovered and I was looking forward to The Hollies tour here next year, Carl was a superb replacement for Alan Clarke, I got met Carl in 2001 during their last tour, he was an easy going, down to earth person, he sat with us during a soundcheck, and we met him after the show, he was just a great talent and will be greatly missed, on behalf of my wife and myself we send our sincere condolences to his wife Susan and son Jack, he is in our prayers.
