RIP Mark E Smith (The Fall)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42811968
Surprised he lasted this long...
Quote:
The Fall singer Mark E Smith has died aged 60, the band's manager has said.
Pam Van Damned said the frontman died at home on Wednesday morning and a more detailed statement would follow "in the next few days".
"In the meantime, Pam and Mark's family request privacy at this sad time," the statement said.
Paying tribute, Smith's former bandmate Marc Riley said the singer "taught me a lot about life and he taught me a lot about music".

Never a widely popular band, The Fall has a devoted following.

Re: RIP Mark E Smith (The Fall)
I looked at his pic and I used to be a DJ many moons ago, never heard of him either.

Re: RIP Mark E Smith (The Fall)
He was post-punk, released 32 albums - niche market, but popular in Manchester and Leeds.
It wasn’t the type of music that got played in discos...

Re: RIP Mark E Smith (The Fall)
Cited by many as an influential band. Sorry to see him pass away too early.

Re: RIP Mark E Smith (The Fall)
I was only listening to Eat Y'Self Fitter earlier today. Saw them live best part of 30 years ago and always planned to see them again. Upsetting news, he'll be missed in this house.
Cheers
Dave
