Re: Rest in Peace part 4
Yeah, a legend with a colourful track record, who somehow outlasted most if not all of his contemporaries, despite living a life suggesting he'd burn out in half the time. RIP

Re: Rest in Peace part 4
The legendary Wilko Johnson has finally lost his health battles. He was 75. He is most recalled as guitarist in 1970s rockers Dr Feelgood, but has become something of a national treasure over the past 10 years, as his terminal cancer turned out to be less so, but he brought a lot of joy and insight along the way, and a great many musicians had little but good to say about him. RIP

Re: Rest in Peace part 4
Keyboardist Martin Duffy died after a fall. He was only 55. He was a member of Primal Scream during their Screamadelica era, and later in the 1990s joined the Charlatans. He also did some solo stuff.
Singer Terry Hall died at 63 as well, having begun a battle with cancer. Besides being part of the Specials and Fun Boy Three, and Colourfield and Vegas, and doing solo stuff, he was a campaigner and despite a determinedly dour countenance, could be quite funny too.

The great Maxi Jazz sadly died before Christmas. As the lead singer and one of the creative parts of the band Faithless, he had a few hits in the UK in the 1990s, most famously Insomnia. He was 65. RIP

Yes, very sad. Pointer Sisters were amazing. Also Earth, Wind & Fire drummer Fred White has died at the age of 67.

Indeed, saw that.Adric wrote:Yes, very sad. Pointer Sisters were amazing. Also Earth, Wind & Fire drummer Fred White has died at the age of 67.
Alan Rankine of the Associates died at 64. Think he was one of the contributors to the Rip It Up series I saw before Christmas. Billy McKenzie sadly died a long time back. Still well remembered band though. RIP

Re: Rest in Peace part 4
Shocking but then he had nearly 60 years of rocking behind him. Much respected as one of the archetypal guitar heroes.Adric wrote:Jeff Beck, virtuoso rock guitarist, dies at 78

Singer-songwriter-guitarist David Crosby, a founding member of two popular and enormously influential ’60s rock units, the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), has died, his representative says. He was 81 years old. RIP
Re: Rest in Peace part 4
Thought I'd done a CSN thread. Ah well. Crosby had seemed less than healthy for a while, so his making 81 seems all the more remarkable. RIP
Bruce Gowers, video director of the famous Bohemian Rhapsody promo and many others, has died at 82.

Re: Rest in Peace part 4
Dismayed to belatedly learn of the death of Noel McKoy which happened at the start of November. He was 60; his best UK success was with "Love The Life" by JTQ and even that didn't make the top 30.
Steve Mackey, of Yorkshire Britpoppers Pulp, has died suddenly at just 56.
