Sad, that only JJ and Cornwell are left, and that they won’t talk.

Liked him back in the day - clever, innovative and very funny at times. 65 no age.

That’s sad. I only really discovered his music a couple of years ago. Will dig some out later.

Not old, only 70 I think. I missed seeing him live a couple of times fairly recently. :frowning:

Bit more niche, but it looks like Per Abrahamsen of Electrocompaniet game has died. Don’t own any but could very happily live with a system of their products.
