warwickhunt Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 No age at all to go and to Cancer... though I suppose Cancer has no concept of age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Very sad - I love 'Wolf like me', great song. That is awfully young for cancer - my dad died of prostate cancer at 42 and that was way too young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Foster Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Such terrible news. Their new album has only just been released, and it's ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Unbelievably great band and a really sad loss too, especially sad when you consider that bands like TV On the Radio are pushing the envelope of music in a world where talentless artists are increasingly celebrated by the mass media. We need more need more bands like these guys, and this is really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigster Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) really unique sound - saw him playing a nice Gibson EB-0 on Jools Holland a few years back. Crap. I mean the news, not his playing! Edited April 21, 2011 by Jigster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
