Magnum, who are due to release their 23rd studio album this week, recently cancelled an upcoming tour and revealed Clarkin had been diagnosed with a rare spinal condition.

More a fan of Bob Catley than Magnum specifically. Only album I have of Magnum is "Wings Of Heaven", but I'm familiar with "Kingdom Of Madness". Tony Clarkin was a very good, very underrated guitarist.
Interesting fact: I only know of Magnum and Bob Catley FROM THIS SITE! Years ago I posted a thread: "What's Your Favorite Artist and What 10 Songs Of Theirs Do I Need On my iPod?". Somebody (I forget who) chose Magnum/Bob Catley and listed 10 songs, some were Magnum, some were Catley solo. At the time, I could only find the Catley solo songs on iTunes, but I downloaded them and loved 'em! Never did get around to buying any CDs of them though.

I like Bob Catley and I think Tony Clarkin had a solo album but don't know whether it was released or got canned...Magnum was band that worked hard but didn't quite hit heights they deserved |
