I was recently shocked to learn of the death of Frank (Fad Gadget) Tovey happened over 2 years ago! I'm sure that there are many more dearly departed souls among the New Wave world that some of us are also not aware of. Here are some that I DO know:

Pete DeFrietas- Echo & The Bunnymen
Wendy O. Williams- The Plasmatics
Stiv Bators- Lords Of The New Church
Pete Farndon- The Pretenders
James Honeyman-Scott- The Pretenders
Stuart Adamson- Big Country
Ned Liben- EBN-OZN
Matthew Ashman- Bow Wow Wow
Sid Vicious- Sex Pistols
Michael Hutchence- INXS
Ricky Wilson- The B-52's

Those are some off the top of my head. Can anyone else add to the list?
