This is sad,didnt one of kraftwerk suffer a heart attack on stage in australia a couple of months ago,i think he survived though.

Oh man! VdGG were among the earliest vinyl I ever bought. I still regularly listen to H to He and The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other. Proper album covers too! Sure sign of getting older :-)

Sad to hear Nic's gone.

That was Fritz Hilpert, who had a minor heart attack (if there is such a thing) before performing at Global Gathering in Melbourne, November 2008. Fritz is now alive and well, I saw him (and the rest of Kraftwerk) last Saturday night in Dusseldorf.
