Bill Nelson has released a "free" track (ebow guitar improvisation) in support of Mick. He asks people who download the track to make a donation, "however modest", to the appeal for Mick.

I've only found this feed today though I was aware that Mick - real name Andonis Michaelides - had been diagnosed with cancer after reading something on the Wal website. It restores my faith in human nature when you see feeds like this. I had read that Mick had made somewhat of a recovery and was planning some gigs with the lead singer of Bauhaus. Anybody have an update on this?

As a fellow Greek and my elder brother having recently been treated for Non Hodgkis Lymphoma and Leukaemia I feel compelled to help in some way. I, like many others, was inspired by Mick as a teenager and would happily donate my own vinyl copy of "Titles" to any fund that will find it's way to Mick and his family. If anybody wants to take up the challenge of putting together this fund please contact me.

Jeez, terribly sad. A unique fretless bass voice. I will always remember him standing front stage playing Visions of China on the Tin Drum tour nearly 30 years ago. RIP.

Just heard the news a short while ago... :) Currently listening to the Oil On Canvas live album and reminding myself what an amazing player he was- undoubtedly one of the coolest and most instantly-identifiable fretless players ever. RIP.
