RIP Ari Up

[Gwylan]

Following from the interview with John Lydon yesterday, some sadder news: Lydon's step-daughter, Ari Up of The Slits has died aged 48.

I remember seeing The Slits supporting The Clash in 1977 - a great gig. And their debut album Cut has stood the test of time well.

shit, she was out here not long ago and appeared on Spicks and Specks (a long running ABC music quiz show) - she was a bit mental to be honest.....

RIP

Same age as me too...

I'm genuinely surprised and saddened.

They released a 'comeback' album last year ('Trapped Animal') which was actually pretty good, and they toured as well.

RIP Ari.

Their version of Heard It Through The Grapevine is my favourite cover ever.

Sad news.

Used to see her and her two lads around quite a bit, when the Lydons were neighbours.
She's way young to be popping her clogs like that. Nora seemed always a bit long-faced, so she'll really be miserable now.
