In 1989, former KTP saxophonist Jo Wells, who had gone on to tour with Tears for Fears and the Communards, was aboard a boat in the Marchioness disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 51 people. Afterward Wells suffered a nervous breakdown and turned to alcohol. She lost the control of her lip that is essential to players of woodwind instruments. She is now unable to work, has sold two of her saxophones, and lives on Income Support.
