Sad news indeed 😞

Not music, but Martin Amis dying got me a little, loved his books when I was younger.

[G1T]

For those that listen to Worthy FM, just found out that long, long time presenter Daddy Teacha died earlier today. He was, well, an absolute legend of a human being. Am heartbroken.

John Giblin, session bass player and once of Simple Minds passed last week at 71.

Lovely tribute from Kate Bush here:

Tina Turner - a very big miss from the world of music. RIP.

[gooner1990]

RIP Tina Turner

my mum went to see her on that Steamy Window tour in the early 90s - always rated it as one of the best concerts she’d ever been to.

Tony McPhee RIP

Conscious many won’t recognise the name, or his band The Groundhogs, but worth a read nonetheless:

…as an influence of two of our headliners, The Arctic Monkeys and QOTSA.

Not a big one outside of Ireland I guess but a fixture on the Irish music scene for decades.

Woulde been a huge band if he wasnt a smackhead.

RIP Christy.

Aw no! Completely missed this at the time. Tough life he had but in an internet age they could easily have been huge.

The irony of BBC top of the pops banning the song , considering the exploits of some of their 70s presenters.

Who will save the world, great album. Bought it when it was first released. At that time there was so many classic bands around.
