Who said anything about being asked to leave? Oh dear, what a giveaway.

Erm, Dave, The band needs Alan.

If Alan left now, it would rank as one of the band's great losses. I'm
sure the band would survive, after all they've survived the loss of
Lemmy, Nik, Bob and Huw, I'm sure Dave will carry on as Hawkwind as he
always has, and I'll continue to follow, but I think Alan has
contributed enormously to the Hawks current incarnation. It took years
to find someone who had that blanga sound, plus he's written some of my
ALL-TIME favorite HW tunes, good voice, looks the part and positively
radiates affability.

For pete's sake, patch it up. We're all very fond of Alan, this'll be
devastating to the band and the fans. Sort it out, huh, please?
