Colin Payne of Taxxi
Hi there, I'm reaching out because on 3 June 2022 you edited the article on the British/American hard rock group Taxxi by deleting the note formerly stating that keyboardist Colin Payne is deceased (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taxxi&diff=1091379112&oldid=1081804072 ); you stated "not deceased".

The note that Mr. Payne is (allegedly) deceased had been added in 2011 without giving any sources, but a web search brought a source from 29 August 2011 which says that Mr. Payne "is sadly no longer with us"; see https://www.rocktopia.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1517:taxxi-traxx&catid=910:cd-reviews&Itemid=485

Do you have any first-hand information to resolve this conundrum? It would be great if you could help to corroborate the facts. Thanks a lot in advance, Purzelbier (talk) 11:28, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
