Jimi Hendrix’s last recorded words to a roadie are being recounted in connection with a violent incident involving the Hells Angels during Hendrix’s final performances in Germany. Eric Barrett, who worked with Hendrix, describes an escape from the Isle of Fehmarn after clashes with the biker group, which he says occurred around the time of Hendrix’s last concert there. Barrett links the stress and chaos of that night to the moments that followed.
Both outlets describe Barrett’s account as coming from his memories rather than newly produced contemporaneous documentation. The incident is presented as part of the context surrounding Hendrix’s departure from the island and the period leading up to his death later in 1970. The reporting focuses on the claimed “final words” Barrett says Hendrix told him, using the Hells Angels confrontation to frame why the exchange is remembered as significant. Neither outlet provides additional conflicting detail beyond the shared premise of the recollection.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the core points: Hendrix’s roadie recounts that Hendrix spoke to him in his final moments, and that the telling is tied to a violent confrontation involving the Hells Angels at the Isle of Fehmarn.
