They were all my friends, and they died.....

thank you Joe Strummer,
good night sir,
and I'll see you in the bye and bye...

The biggest shock had to be when Honeyman-Scott and Farndon died within just a couple of years. Very tragic.

[MartiniHoudini]

Stuart Adamson of Big Country. A completely underrated songwriter.

You all heard that Paul Hestor (Crowded House) was founded dead this week.

[xcess-n-htown]

Anyone heard of the group Section 25? The band was formed by 2 brothers, Larry and Vin Cassidy. Larry's wife Jenny did the vocals to Looking from A Hilltop and played keyboards. She just recently died of cancer in 2004.

Lets not forget Ian Dury,Arthur Kane and I think Robert Quine of the Voidoids(hope I,m wrong).I must mention three that died not far apart from one another in the early 90,s that were a big part of my record collection.Rory Gallagher,Mick Ronson and Brian

[Moparmark]

I must also mention Fred sonic Smith as well as Rob Tyner and Dennis Darnel(Social Distortion).I miss them all.

[Borneojimy]

Nyna Crawford, lead singer for the late 70s SF band the VKTMS was a shame as well. The band had reformed in the late 90s & done a CDs worth of great sounding stuff,(their best ever IMO) when she died of ovarian cancer. Can't forget Rik L Rik, John Macias

[Moparmark]

I also have to mention Doug Bennett of Doug and the Slugs.More of a canadian band but some of you american folks probably heard of them.
