John Bentley (born 16 April 1951, in Deptford, South East London) was the bassist for Squeeze from 1980 to 1982. He played on the albums Argybargy and East Side Story, generally considered to be the band's best by critics, as well as the darker and less acclaimed Sweets from a Stranger. Squeeze split up in 1982, and upon reuniting in 1985 band leaders Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook replaced Bentley with Keith Wilkinson. Bentley is set to perform as a Squeeze member once again on the band's "Quintessential Tour 2007" through the US and UK.
