During this period , Hendrix was also writing and recording songs for a new album . In early June after many delays , his new recording facility , Electric Lady Studios , was operational . Hendrix was able to get his manager , Michael Jeffery , to agree to limit his concert appearances to three-day weekends , so the group could return to New York City to record during the rest of the week . There were some stretches when the group took time off : they only performed twice between May 10 and June 5 ( three gigs were cancelled due to illness ) ; and twice between June 27 and July 17 . The group spent most of August recording at Electric Lady , before the official opening party on August 26 . Afterwards , Hendrix departed for England and the European segment of the tour . For his first appearance in England in eighteen months , Hendrix was one of the top-billed events at Isle of Wight Festival 1970 . A few dates later , Cox became ill and had to return to the US to recover . So , after performing at only seven European concerts , the tour was cancelled . Hendrix stayed in London , where he attended parties and jammed with other musicians . He was considering whether to find a new bass player and met with his former producer Chas Chandler . However , Hendrix died on September 18 , 1970
