Beautiful Brian. I saw a clip of him doing an impromptu couple of numbers at Steve's daughters wedding. As frail as he was, he sounded amazing. Absolute respect!! ❤RIP Brian, Mick and Steve. Rock on in the afterlife.❤
Brian had gone thru lots of tough time but he never backed down, that's why we admire him even more. He was still very active in his profession until his last days on earth. What a talent, raw talent indeed, the best singer/artist/front man of all time, and it's sickening that he was so underrated. ❤and miss you so much, Brian!
Poor Brian - such a hard life after he took on heavy drinking mixed with heavy ( wrong dose ) medication combined with heavy smoking just crumbled his body and took it's toll . Steve ( saw him a couple years before his death ) Put on a rocking show ( even though he sat the whole time - he did in fact play and sing backup ) . Poor Tucker being diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia and passing in 2002 . Today we're left with Andy - would love to catch him live before he leaves us as well . Sweet's Music will live forever . Those Amazing Four Part harmonies were out of this world . Foxes on the Run , you scream and everybody comes . Sweet Rocks .
Brian Connolly, such a great singer…so sad to see someone like that go through so much, alcohol and meds ravaged him…and him been beaten up outside a pub and kicked in the throat, such a tragedy, he was never the same…he was a talented singer..gone way too soon, to Brian, Mick and Steve, may you all rest in the loving arms of the all mighty, and know your music lives on.
Sweet is my favorite band, and Brian is my favorite singer, every songs he sang is just stick in your head forever. I also love his latest songs " Let's go", "Lady", "The Last Show"....great voice, what a musician/artist. I am sure Brian, Steve & Mick are having great concerts up in heaven now! Yeah... Yeah...Yeah!
Thank you for your fantastic Sweet-Sound and the joy you brought to your fans 😍 R.I.P. Brian, Mick and Stevie. Keep on rocking and having fun together where ever you guys are 💕
Brian is only 45 years old and completely broken in this interview. So sad to see what alcohol does to people. Nevertheless, I loved them … R.i.P. Brian and Mick
I’ve seen Brian’s interview where he stated that the shakes started after his pneumonia, but to be fair, and with all respect to the guy, it’s the booze that causes that symptom, not heart attacks or pneumonia, he had the DTs from the drink. It’s sad, I used to work with someone who was exactly the same, he was a big drinker
@@gayleallen7217 The heart attacks were directly tied in with his alcoholism. Heavy drinking causes high blood pressure. The shakes were also tied in with the drinking. Over the years, heavy alcohol consumption eats away at the central nervous system. It was really sad to watch him decline so deeply. He was an extremely talented singer and from what I understand, just a really nice guy. Most people I've known who struggled with addiction have been really good people.
@@Brewzerr when he had pneumonia he also suffered from septicemia...it effected his nervous system...I do not believe that it was completely alcohol...
Best band ever ❤ and love Brian, he was gorgeous, a great singer and a down to earth nice guy. Very sad to see Brian in this condition RIP beautiful man ❤
Poor Brian what a sad sad thing to see him like this.....the demon drink has certainly got hold off him. I was just watching some of the early stuff "WIG WAM BAM" I absolutely love it .....born in the mid sixties remember them at their heyday......mid fifties now and not in good health unfortunately......how I wish I could go back to those 70s days listening to their hits blasting out ......oh well one can dream...😢
It's easy to see that Brian wasn't in hist best shape and probably the reason why the reunion never took place. I actually heard him perform live in 1984 and I was completely shocked. Even though he never lost his charisma the voice of an angel had completely gone .So sad. RIP and thx for everything. You were truly one in a million
There are a lot of sad stories in rock and roll, but Brian's story ranks up there in the top 5 saddest of all time. It was just heartbreaking to watch him decline so deeply and fall so hard over the years. He was literally one of the greatest rock and roll singers and frontmen ever during Sweet's early to mid 70's golden years, and from all accounts a genuinely nice guy with a heart of gold. The monkey on his back grew to King Kong proportions and just beat him down to a bloody pulp. Happens to a lot of rock and rollers, but in Brian's case it was pretty damn extreme.
The tension in that interview is palpable. They all look so uncomfortable. Sad to see Brian struggling, he was never the same after he was beat up outside that bar, and the real story has never been told, supposedly a roadie from back then knows what really happened but hasn't/won't tell. After that, Brian started drinking and it was downhill. I love them all no matter....RIP Brian, Mick, Steve.
They probably felt embarrassed, mad ,sad ,stunned, at loss for the reality they threw away their thing they had , and they all knew it !! They had the it ,like all the great Bands They are Sweet , Them alone :)
I don't just want to repeat everyone else's sentiments because it's obvious, but long live you, Brian. We miss you so much. And that goes for Mick and Steve, too. Thank you for everything.
Really painful to see but Brian still had his beautiful smile. I'd like the see anyone else survive that many heart attacks and substance abuse without being profoundly affected! He was a sweet, beautiful man with a voice and charisma to rival anyone! Sweet was amazing in their day and the music lives on. Ironic that Andy, my least favorite, is the 1 left. I don't think he treated Brian very well.
Very sad seeing that now. Three are gone. A great and innovative band that left loads of memories and a tidal wave of great music behind them. And that's what we must remember - the legacy they left. That is what is important!
Thank you so much for posting it.It’s wonderful to see them back together again after 12 years!!! But sadly Brian wasn’t healthy enough to go on with the band! May you rest in peace sweet Brian and Mick!!! 🌹Thank you for the good moments and your beautiful music!!! 😎🎶🎉I’ never forget you!!! 💜
Thanks to youtube and The Sweet for sharing footage of this great band. I am so sorry that Brian and Mick couldn't have stayed longer, they are missed but forever remembered for their musical contributions. I have been enjoying all the music, thanks :)
*11:54* Brian was noticeably shaking which affected his speech and concentration--his battles with alcoholism have been documented. It's sad that this happened to a great talent of this legendary band. So respectfully, I'm taking these factors into consideration: Brian's birth with meningitis to a teenage mother and his adoptive parents' inability to access her family's health history to address any issues(considering all technologies at the time). Most importantly, I don't think Brian himself wasn't aware of the likelihood that his health was already compromised before drinking.
@@chynnadoll3277 I read that from Brian Manly book “The Man who sang ‘Blockbuster’ which was about Brian. If you can get ahold of this book, it’s definitely an interesting read. He also mentioned about meeting Brian. Also if you can get ahold of the Sweet DVD “Glitz, Blitz and Hits,” that’s also a great find. You’ll hear Phil Wainman, Nicky Chinn, and Andy Scott share their sides of Sweet’s rise to success and about Brian. I remember Nicky said something to the effect of “Brian was a nice guy but he [was hard on himself].” Also if I’m not mistaken, Brian didn’t find out that he was adopted until considerably later in his life. Perhaps his adoptive parents believed that this was the right thing to do at the time but it seemed like he didn’t take it well. He’d found out that his half brother was an actor-I think he starred in “Taggart,” but I could be wrong on this. I guess the way people viewed things back then were different back then. Though it’s a moot point now, I wonder if Brian’s adoptive parents were honest in the beginning and that it didn’t affect their feelings for him, if that might have affected his behavior differently.
@@pleun315 If you get ahold of either or both of Brian Manly book “The Man who sang Blockbuster” and the DVD “The Sweet: Glitz, Blitz and Hitz,” both the book’s author and Nicky Chinn mentioned that Brian was a nice person.
This interview says a lot! I tend to think so much like Sweet never got their credit to what they meant for heavy metal as like Ramones had to wait till about half of them died to get fully aknowleged for what they meant to modern punkrock. It's about time the guys from Def Leppard, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and so many more stand up for Sweet to get them into the R&R hall of fame. Hell, even Axl Rose and Lemmy were fans of Sweet!
I loved the sweet even their early stuff like co-co funny funny ect but we all know they really liked the rock side more, managed to see them live in Colchester think it was 73 great live band. Horrible to see Brian like this, he was such a good looker with hes iconic blond hair when young, i lost a brother at 60 through drink not nice they will never be forgotten.

Nice to see the original sweet together on last time and they met the fans 😢 RIP Steve priest Mick Tucker and Brian Connelly ❤ you guys were a great band.😊
What ever happened, They were at the fore front of music ,way ahead of their time , Booze , Drugs ,Cigarettes, never turns out good for Bands and relationships Rip Brian,Mick, Steve ! Until Then :)
They all look uncomfortable and it all feels very awkward even to watch. I think that because none of them had any solo success,they were gambling on the notion that magic would happen by getting back together.Sadly,their magic ended with the 70s.
Personally I don't think any of them even wanted to be in the same room with each other by this point. Probably just a lot of pressure from the music industry to capitalize on their influence over all the hair bands that were so popular in 1990 (and most of them weren't fit to sniff Sweet's dirty socks). There was so much bad blood between them, and just look at poor Brian here. You could tell that the end was very near for him. This is very hard to watch. They were on top of the world 15 years before this. It's a long, hard drop.
Brian kann einen nur sooo leid tun 💗💗 Der Alkohol hat ihn kaputt gemacht 🙄💕 Aber er wird nie vergessen !!!!!!💞💞💞💞 Ruhe in Frieden Brian 💖 Connolly 💗 Seine Bandmitglieder haben ihn hängen lassen!!!!🙄🙄
Kerstin Herder Er hatte sich aber in den Folgejahren nach diesem Interview wieder etwas erholt . Hat einige neue Songs präsentiert und auch die ,,,,alten Songs immer wieder präsentiert. Konnte aber leider nie wieder an die Erfolge anknüpfen 😥😥😥
Kerstin Herder Besser wäre gewesen , dieses Interview hätte nie stattgefunden. Brian wurde nur 😪 vorgeführt in seinem nicht so guten. Zustand. Einfach nur 😪 traurig !!! Ruhe in Frieden Brian 💖 Connolly 💗
@@bepitan Absolutely we are, one of many great drummers that were overshadowed by the likes of the above mentioned. Terry Bozzio, Bill Ward, Don Brewer, Ian Paice.... the list goes on.
@@MrGilbert41 yeah i take your point ...the drumming is seriously good, in fact the whole band is probably capable of so much more if the truth be told....better than peart bonham or baker ...perhaps but we will never know.
You can tell that they were all a little uncomfortable here... it doesn't look like they have been hanging out together recently, and they were a little unsure of what was to come...
Watching this interview has been very emotional for me considering that both Brian and Mick have passed. Plus seeing that Steve has put on weight and seems to have lost his youthful appearance.
Das man so ein Interview führt obwohl es Brian schon so schlecht ging...finde ich nicht gut von den anderen 3 ..sowas hat Brian nicht verdient....den Andy mochte ich noch nie...RIP Brian ❤
Wow, they seem so nervous throughout. Andy looks good. Poor Brian looks ill and Steve has started to stack it on. Mick would have looked better if he wasn't so made up.
Brian was really falling hard at this time. The booze had pretty well claimed him by 1990. Even if he had sobered up for good at this point he still would have suffered lifelong permanent damage. Sad stuff.
Se eu estivesse lá beijaria o Bryan Ele era lindo e ainda é lindo lá no céu Essas meninas não são fãs.... Fã beija fã abraça e até arranca pedaço da roupa do ídolo
Strange interview this one,they had to know that reunion wasn't going to take off,poor Old Brian was a wreck,some people can drink and have little side effects but it damaged Brian permanantly.The reunion never happened obviously,this would have been the last tine they were together.
As I have information about Brian so was he born with menangites and adopted. Who knows of he was born as a alkoholic . Brian was a grate singer 🎶 Let us remeber that instead. And Steve o Mick .
Yeah, I think it would have been a shambles. Besides Brian's bad health, their hearts just weren't in it at this point. Too much bad blood and deep resentment towards each other. I think this was just pressure from the music industry to capitalize on the fact that all these hair bands that were big in 1990 cited Sweet as a huge influence (except most of those bands were just awful and got it all wrong, but that's a whole other subject). They obviously don't want to be there from what I see. Any magic they once had got left behind in the 70's.
Ironic that Andy is the only one left now. I can’t help but think he contributed to Brian’s demise. He was always jealous of him, and with good reason.
Why dying this at all-? Its painfull to watch. Specially Brian, hes not fit at all, how could they Dreams bout an reunion, best it never happen. Sorry, Sweet was my top group in tye seven tees, still i play their musikk. I want to remember them, as they was.
This is such an awkward interview, feel so sorry for Brian being dragged out when he is so unwell.😢 Brian can barely get through the interview let alone go on tour.
Nope. Substance abuse and bad blood had torn their relationships apart at this point. Poor Brian seems so out of it here that I don't think he even realized what was going on.
It seemed like they were trying to put on brave faces during the interview. Before seeing this, I saw the "Ballroom Hitz" VHS(not sure if it's on available on DVD now)which had Brian, Mick and Andy's talking separately about the band's history. Toward the end, they mentioned a possible Sweet reunion in which Brian seemed close to, if not was crying--he was saying something to the effect of fans being [overjoyed] that this reunion "is really happening."
MABYE BECAUSE THEY COULD TELL BRIAN WAS TOO DEBILITATED.R.I.P. GO ANDY GO(THEY DIDINT FELL CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS SUCCEEDING DUE TO BRIAN LITARALLY SEMI DISABLED
Well yeah, he was a severe alcoholic. By this time it wasn't just a lot of partying. The monkey on his back had reached King Kong proportions. It's especially sad considering how gifted a vocalist he once was, and also just a really great guy with a heart of gold. The drinking started to become a real problem with him as far back as 1976, and by the time "Love is Like Oxygen" was a hit he was already deep into the grips of full blown alcoholism, and a year later he was ejected from Sweet.
This aged as well as the Gary Glitter question. Terrible interviewer : "So what have you been doing for the past 12 years?", well if you have to ask then the answer isn't relevant to a Rock Reunion. "Do you like current music?" dreadful question, but just shows the guys had no PR guru preparation to sugarcoat their answers. Andy, bless him, was trying to sound relevant and hip and sell it with the Stone Roses name drop. There was obviously no rehearsals to rediscover the magic, no getting together for a few drinks and a laugh beforehand, it's such a shame because if Brian had got himself together they'd have had another 10 years making serious money on the road. The fact it took so long to decide and that it wasn't Brian who said the "You're watching Powerstation" announcement says so much
The term "Singles Band" is stupid. To promote a new album radio & fans wanted a single released especially in the USA. Led Zeppelin released singles too. Poor Brian, the lights are on but nobody's home. :(

It looks as if Andy Scott is the only one who really wants to be there.
They`re all too ashamed to admit they`re only there because they`re skint.
Sweet is above all negative opinions they have loyal fans all over the world from their heyday to 2021

Watching this interview has been very emotional for me considering that both Brian and Mick have passed. Plus seeing that Steve has put on weight and seems to have lost his youthful appearance.
People age. Happens to all of us. It is what it is.
@@Brewzerr "It is what it is"...such a meaningless cliche and cop-out expression.
@60s Man 60s Guitars BOO HOO
Das man so ein Interview führt obwohl es Brian schon so schlecht ging...finde ich nicht gut von den anderen 3 ..sowas hat Brian nicht verdient....den Andy mochte ich noch nie...RIP Brian ❤
This was never going to work, Brian was shot to bits at this stage and the voice had gone.
There were parts during the interview where I couldn't make out what Brian was saying.
Da hatte Brian Connolly eine tolle Frisur. Der Vokuhila steht ihm so gut 👍. Hätte er diese Frisur schon in den 70er, dann wäre ich Sweetfan geworden.
Sadly you can see how uncomfortable they were and how messed up Brian was
1990 - when mullets ruled the universe.
Un saludo para los cuatro soy de 🇨🇱 💋 besos al cielo

nice guys
Brian is destroyed. So sad .
“One hit wonders” over here in North America. A mystery. What do people see?
No song the same. Each one so different. And many!
Wow, they seem so nervous throughout. Andy looks good. Poor Brian looks ill and Steve has started to stack it on. Mick would have looked better if he wasn't so made up.
Brian was really falling hard at this time. The booze had pretty well claimed him by 1990. Even if he had sobered up for good at this point he still would have suffered lifelong permanent damage. Sad stuff.
Как бы я хотел взять автограф у Брайана...
Wie der Alkohol einen Sänger wie Brian kaputt gemacht hat sieht man optisch sehr deutlich
It's still their heyday
Se eu estivesse lá beijaria o Bryan
Ele era lindo e ainda é lindo lá no céu
Essas meninas não são fãs....
Fã beija fã abraça e até arranca pedaço da roupa do ídolo
Strange interview this one,they had to know that reunion wasn't going to take off,poor Old Brian was a wreck,some people can drink and have little side effects but it damaged Brian permanantly.The reunion never happened obviously,this would have been the last tine they were together.
As I have information about Brian so was he born with menangites and adopted.
Who knows of he was born
as a alkoholic .
Brian was a grate singer 🎶
Let us remeber that instead.
And Steve o Mick .
Shame it never came off. But perhaps it's best as Brian was not in the best of shape...sad.
Yeah, I think it would have been a shambles. Besides Brian's bad health, their hearts just weren't in it at this point. Too much bad blood and deep resentment towards each other. I think this was just pressure from the music industry to capitalize on the fact that all these hair bands that were big in 1990 cited Sweet as a huge influence (except most of those bands were just awful and got it all wrong, but that's a whole other subject). They obviously don't want to be there from what I see. Any magic they once had got left behind in the 70's.
@@Brewzerr definitely there's a re recording of ballroom blitz from a failed sweet reunion in 88 on TH-cam and Brian sounds awfully
Ironic that Andy is the only one left now. I can’t help but think he contributed to Brian’s demise. He was always jealous of him, and with good reason.
Why dying this at all-? Its painfull to watch. Specially Brian, hes not fit at all, how could they Dreams bout an reunion, best it never happen. Sorry, Sweet was my top group in tye seven tees, still i play their musikk. I want to remember them, as they was.
This is such an awkward interview, feel so sorry for Brian being dragged out when he is so unwell.😢 Brian can barely get through the interview let alone go on tour.
😢
So did Brian have the Delirium Tremens here?
貴重な映像。いつのだろ？
Brian sam sobie winny dlatego sie go pozbyli chociaz mogli probowac mu pomoc.
This is really hard to watch
16:10 looks like RIzzo of Grease
I love sweet
Ob er denkt, die Presse stellt schon merkwürdige Fragen?
Can anyone tell me where and when this interview took place, please?
Ngaire Mohi it was at Tower Records in London in 1990 🙂
Привет ! Интересно бы послушать это их интервью на русском языке !!!
Incredibly sad to see.... none of them appeared enthusiastic about being together.... 😐
Nope. Substance abuse and bad blood had torn their relationships apart at this point. Poor Brian seems so out of it here that I don't think he even realized what was going on.
It seemed like they were trying to put on brave faces during the interview. Before seeing this, I saw the "Ballroom Hitz" VHS(not sure if it's on available on DVD now)which had Brian, Mick and Andy's talking separately about the band's history. Toward the end, they mentioned a possible Sweet reunion in which Brian seemed close to, if not was crying--he was saying something to the effect of fans being [overjoyed] that this reunion "is really happening."
MABYE BECAUSE THEY COULD TELL BRIAN WAS TOO DEBILITATED.R.I.P.
GO ANDY GO(THEY DIDINT FELL CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS SUCCEEDING DUE TO BRIAN LITARALLY SEMI DISABLED
Brian, what have you been doing for the past twelve years? Most of it was spent in the pub by the look of him.
Brian was very ill this should never have taken place
Well yeah, he was a severe alcoholic. By this time it wasn't just a lot of partying. The monkey on his back had reached King Kong proportions. It's especially sad considering how gifted a vocalist he once was, and also just a really great guy with a heart of gold. The drinking started to become a real problem with him as far back as 1976, and by the time "Love is Like Oxygen" was a hit he was already deep into the grips of full blown alcoholism, and a year later he was ejected from Sweet.
You don't know a lot about Bryan do you
No
This is Spinal Tap.
This aged as well as the Gary Glitter question. Terrible interviewer : "So what have you been doing for the past 12 years?", well if you have to ask then the answer isn't relevant to a Rock Reunion. "Do you like current music?" dreadful question, but just shows the guys had no PR guru preparation to sugarcoat their answers. Andy, bless him, was trying to sound relevant and hip and sell it with the Stone Roses name drop. There was obviously no rehearsals to rediscover the magic, no getting together for a few drinks and a laugh beforehand, it's such a shame because if Brian had got himself together they'd have had another 10 years making serious money on the road. The fact it took so long to decide and that it wasn't Brian who said the "You're watching Powerstation" announcement says so much
The term "Singles Band" is stupid. To promote a new album radio & fans wanted a single released especially in the USA. Led Zeppelin released singles too. Poor Brian, the lights are on but nobody's home. :(
Alcohoholism is cunning,baffeling and powerful. The poor man was helpless.😂
The Drunk.
Are you?
I love Sweet's music but god I hate those hideous mullets!
So anyone that has long hair has a “mullet”? Lol stupid
@@FNAFEDITS171 They are mullets, short fringe and sides and long back is what a mullet is.
@@richalderson6069 I know. I was just messing with you lol. Sorry my friend haha.
And yes, those styles are hideous lol
@@FNAFEDITS171 Oh, that's cool ha ha!
Omg😢😢😢
