warwickhunt Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 No age at all to go and to Cancer... though I suppose Cancer has no concept of age! Quote
Clarky Posted April 21, 2011 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
ZMech Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Just read about this whilst coincidentally rocking out to the awesome new album. absolutely devastating. Quote
Huw Foster Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Such terrible news. Their new album has only just been released, and it's ace. Quote
risingson Posted April 21, 2011 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
Jigster Posted April 21, 2011 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
Monckyman Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 wtf? was just discussing going to see them live for their promo of the cd. A calamity. Quote
indiegrungesound Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Heard this VERY sad news last night on Xfm! My condolences to his family & his bandmates! Quote
