Was Jack Bruce spending time in Paris France with the late Robert Palmer at the time of Robert Palmers death?

That is correct. Robert Palmer and Jack Bruce were staying in adjoining suites at the Warwick de berri Hotel in Paris, France at the time of Robert Palmer's death. The two wanted to spend time together as Jack Bruce had undergone a successful liver transplant operation in July of 2003, but was still recuperating from the major surgery. He was ordered by his doctor to take time off, and thought it would be a great opportunity to spend some time with his good friend since 1969, Robert Palmer. Palmer himself was taking a breather from promoting 2003's "Drive." Jack Bruce was the last person that Robert Palmer dined with at the Warwick de Berri, or, as they jokingly referred to it, as "the Georges" as the hotel was located on Georges IV Ave. in Paris and on one occasion they had forgotten the name of the hotel while partying. Jack then said "You know, were staying at the Georges!" They never forgot that. Robert Palmer was also suffering from Hypertension at the time and felt that he needed a rest. The time was optimum for them to spend time together. Mick Carter discovered that Robert Palmer had died when he went to his suite after Palmer had not appeared for a scheduled interview on the morning of September 26, 2003 and contacted the proper authorities. Jack Bruce was attending a social engagement at the time and was informed of the situation when he returned to his suite.
