Any idea what former Shark Island singer and songwriter is up to these days?
Last I heard was the infamous final show with Contraband where he walked off stage and out of the band.
Always thought he had an amazing voice!

Richard Black is now in a new band called Bourgeois Pigs also featuring Jake E. Lee (Ozzy, Badlands) and Michael Guy (House Of Lords). The band have been signed to Frontiers / Now & Then and there is an album, Calamity of Vanities, in the works, so I hear. Have a look at http://www.rockreunion.de/interviews/guyinterview.htm for some more info. Also, there's an excellent page describing how Richard got involved with the band at http://209.25.124.149/Bourgeois%20Pigs.htm .
