History
John Sykes, with the support of legendary A&R man Kalodner, established Blue Murder with an all-star line up. Cozy Powell was part of the founding line-up of Blue Murder in 1987. Although the line-up can be heard mostly on the second outing, the actual band was now staffed by session musicians. Franklin, Sykes and Appice reformed the band in 2003. Tony Franklin joined Quiet Riot for 2006’s Rehab album. One-time keyboardist Nik Green died in March 2016 due to cancer. Bassist Tony Franklin called the man "a gentle soul and huge talent" on Twitter. Carmine Appice told an interviewer in 2018 that the band’s reformation was cancelled due to the unavailability of guitarist John Sykes.
