Oh, no - and the same week as Geordie Walker (Killing Joke) passed away. Last week, it was Mars Williams, sax player with the Psychedelic Furs.

[wellquickwoody]

A flawed but multi faceted human being, capable of stupidity, inspiration, enthusiasm and wit all in one sentence. His lifetime gave us even more. RIP Big Man.

Proof you should see your dentist on a regular basis...

Proof you don't need to have a full set of gnashers (or any) to be loved, respected and cherished

 

[Pevenseagull]

Awesome work that man.

RIP

 

[Trufflehound]

RIP to a true great.

Also holds the unusual (not unique though - hello Mark E Smith) accolade of being both one of the best AND one of the worst live performers I've ever seen
