Short story:

Full article:

Glyn Johns (record producer) : They actually broke up at one of my sessions. We were doing a session for Johnny Halliday and they had a huge argument, an enormous falling out. That was it.

Kenny Jones (Small Faces) : We were all left dumb and numb-struck. It was a new experience for us.

Ian McLagan (Small Faces) : There was always tension around Steve. He was such a dynamic person. He was great laugh and a talent, but he could be a pain in the neck.
