- Nik Turner was one of the founding members of Hawkwind, which formed in 1969, alongside Dave Brock, John Harrison, Terry Ollis and Mick Slattery.
He played with the band for seven years, including with Lemmy, who joined in 1971 and would later go on to be the frontman for Motörhead. Turner left the band in 1976, before returning in 1982 and playing with them for another two years.
Hawkwind are best known for the song Silver Machine, which reached No 3 in the UK singles chart in 1972, as well as Urban Guerrilla and Shot Down in the Night.
Motörhead’s official Twitter account posted: “We lost Lemmy’s old bandmate Nik Turner today. Play some Hawkwind nice and loud! Brainstorm here we go!”
Between his two stints in Hawkwind, Turner travelled to Egypt and recorded flute music inside the pyramids. The recordings became the basis for a group called Sphynx, which released the album Xitintoday in 1978.
Turner also recorded songs under the names Inner City Unit, Nik Turner’s Fantastic All Stars, and Space Ritual.
“I have a very casual attitude to all this - to me, it’s entertainment,” he told the music website the Quietus in 2013. “But entertainment with an agenda, really. Of spreading joy and love and that sort of thing. I mean, I worry about being too overtly hippy, but peace and love are not fashionable sentiments in some quarters and I think they should be.”
Mick Slattery formed Hawkwind with his Famous Cure bandmate Dave Brock in 1969. They joined forces with John Harrison (bass), Terry Ollis (drums), Nik Turner (saxophone/flute) and Michael “Dik Mik” Davies (keyboards) and initially went by the name Group X.
Brock wrote in the tribute on Facebook: “Me and Mick played together in a band called Famous Cure in 1967, touring Holland before going on to form Hawkwind in 1969 The band originally performed at All Saints Hall in Notting Hill, London before they had a name. They came up with Group X because they didn’t have a title at the time of first playing live, eventually landing on Hawkwind.
Slattery played on an original version of early Hawkwind song ‘Hurry On Sundown’, which was recorded by the band as Hawkwind Zoo during some initial studio time to record demos.
The track was eventually released in a 1996 reissue of Hawkwind’s self-titled 1970 debut album.
Slattery left Hawkwind in 1969 and was replaced by Huw Lloyd-Langton. He continued to make music with musicians who’d played in Hawkwind (with Turner in the group Space Ritual, and with Hawkwind’s former bassist, Alan Davey, in his Hawkestrel project).

Sorry to learn of the passing of Nicholas Robert Turner (26th August 1940 - 10th November 2022). (Aged 82 and any age he chooses to be in his next realm). He will sure be remembered by millions.
Great tribute to Nik saw Space Ritual a few times.............also met Mr.Turner and had a really good chat at a festival a few years back lovely man.....''Stay High'' was the message he wrote when he signed the cover to my cd....sleep well.
I have the same message on my Space Gypsy vinyl album along with his signature. Amazing guy and missed lots.
The best fantastic
Real nice tribute, loved the music, and good to see Angie and Jackie again.
Green fingers ..god is with you..
a wonderful tribute to Nik.
That was enjoyable. Whoever sang "We Took The Wrong Step Years Ago" could have contributed a lot more, because she can actually sing, unlike everyone else on stage.
easy now , they trying didnt really get much time to practice tbh
That's Merry McCloud, and yes she really can sing.
Köszönöm
I'm shocked there was actually something worth seeing at Glastonbury this year. What a brilliant mess the whole thing was, just like the original Hawks at their best, everyone throwing stuff into the mixture.
I particularly enjoyed Spike Milligan playing the violin...
hahaha ive never thought of simon as spike milligan hahahaha ill never see him same again
wonderful. there is even a dancer, alla Stacia.
good old boy Nik was..RIP on the wings of time fella..🤡
Whish id gone to this one
so do I
space is deep. stars occupy minute areas of space, they are cast at a few billion here, and a few billion there. space is the absence of time and of matter. cool show.
'And matter'?
The occupation of space by so called minute stars is relative as the solar star which shineth upon us on occasions is far vaster than our own planet. Therefore as an inhabitant of our planet which is even smaller than stars we see in outer space you would be miniscule by comparison. If you used comparitive reasoning. But we know you are not miniscule or you would relativly be smaller than a worker ant. So stars are not minute in space. They are relatively minute compared with the vastness of space or the emptyness of space.
I am not so sure that 'stars are cast at a few billion here, and a few billion there as if if some hap-hazard casting with out any influence of intelligent design. Electrons are not moving about hap-hazardously with out order. Therefor there is and may be more order in the universe many have not yet thought of.
With out time there is no space. So space is not the absense of time. Both space and time are. They exist.
hawkwind snobbery everywhere it seems. great show and tribute to them who have travelled on
Thanks for uploading this. Have Soace Hawks done anything else or did they just assemble for this?
Sorry, but as a huge fan of Nik Turner, Space Ritual, and yes Hawkwind (As was) I couldn't sit through all this.
I don’t think it’s mandatory
