The real story is this, he had gone out drinking with guys from whitesnake and got shitfaced drunk. He hadn't learned all of the words yet so he had them on cheat sheets at the front of the stage. The crowd got so crazy that they pushed the monitors back over the sheets, destroying them. Being drunk and unable to read the words he walked off stage in the middle of the first song. He left and went back to the hotel where he was told the band was pissed and gonna kick his ass for leaving. They had finished the show instrumentally. So he left and flew home only to find out the next day they fired him.
Graham Bonnet is a true treasure. I cannot believe how powerful his voice is 40 years later. Most singers cannot pull off their albums when they are 23 years old. This man is amazing.
Bonnets the best Rainbow singer I think.Dio's overrated to me,and I listen to plenty of singers,and bands.Dios is good,but many singers can immitate a grindy vocal similar to Dios,and do like the singer from early Astral doors albums does ext.So he's easier to copy,and overall less versatile than Bonnet in my oppinion.
I’m my opinion, the greatest rock voice of all time! I know that people will now start putting other singers up, but as I said, 'In my opinion'. Graham Bonnet’s vocals have been, and still are incredible! 🇬🇧
absolutely inspired still. ..today was my first first ever tribute song to Graham Bonnet " Since you Been gone "ua-cam.com/video/M2iUmBgpHSw/v-deo.html :)
Смотрю это видео снова и снова! Какой голос и страсть! Как быстро летит время. Песни с диска Рэйнбоу где он пел до сих пор крутятся в моей голове,.... Грэхэм, ты велик
Happy birthday, Graham! From an acoustically subdued mandolin, tiple, and guitar (and misc.) player in southwestern Virginia who is also learning what it feels like to be six-dozen years old today!
Being 68, he shouldn´t be able to deliver stuff like that ! But he is. Just listened to ´81 Line Up and he still has his signature sound. Maybe a bit worn , but that´s just human. Great song, really. Rock on Mr. Bonnet !
addendum: please consider getting in touch with Linden Lab and organize a tour in Second Life? We have a whole bunch of cool music stuff planned for later this year!
Does anyone know if he plans to come to Australia next year?? BTW I just sit and listen to his songs with total admiration of his voice and sticking to his way 👍
Richie didn't find him; he looked him up when Rainbow needed a singer because he remembered a song that he really liked that Graham had recorded a few years before.
Lovely to here new music from one of the best voices in the world. Saw them at sweden rock 2016 and had a huge smile on my face all the way. Bless you all.
Criminally underrated singer! This is a great tune.
+Steven Lornie good tune, but about his singing I absolutely agree with you..it happens that RB has been a real jerk: fire a singer 'couse his hair!!!
+jonesthecat00 He left the band.
+jonesthecat00 He was an alcoholic, that's why Michael Schenker fired him too

@SabuPtolemy warm up ride, warm up ride!? Sorry
You still got it Bonnet! One of the best singers ever.
Not crazy about the production but his voice sounds better and more effortless than before.
What a voice to have at his age, if only more singers could be so lucky.
Graham is one of the greatest singers in rock, underrated sadly, but there's still time to appreciate him, come on!!

J Pej so true
I had the privilege to see the Graham Bonnet in my home town Malta, I must say, they rocked the place. Graham Bonnet is a powerful singer !!!
He sounds like the 80s stuff - the voice is still there :-)
who would thumbs down Graham Bonnet?they dont know a great singer when they hear 1.
+blasphemusbudda Joe Lynn Turner's fans...
I like Bonnet but Joe was better
A great singer who madea lot of bad choices.
Its those damn maroon 5 fans again! They hate good music
Грэм! Слава БОГУ жив и в строю! ВОКАЛ до сих пор потрясает! ДОЛГИХ лет жизни в этом ключе!🤟❤🎤🎸👍
Graham, the Johnny Cash of modern rock. Loved by his fans, misunderstood by the others. Me? FAN! Keep rocking man!
Almost 70 years old and still going strong, not too many artists can claim that
True! Impressive thing!
The talents with which Ritchie Blackmore worked and chose, were and are out of this world, for a reason he chose them. Long live Graham Bonnet
Great to hear Bonnet proving he's still one of the best. Rainbow only had 2 great singers Bonnet and Dio. Line Up is my No 1 album of all time.

Damn I've loved this mans voice since I was a teenager in the mid 70's.
What a wonderful return to form!! One of the greatest ever rock voices is well and truly back! Made my day :-)
Love this guy! Thank you, Graham, for being a one of a kind vocalist and one of my favorites.
Грехам величайший голос и до сих пор,слушаю с Rainbow -этот диск один из лучших в моей коллекции.
Graham, excellent work! :)
