Saying which 64 is no age and brain cancer is a horrible way to die, my condolences to get family and friends.

If you can't say anything nice....

I didn't find them pretentious. Loud, yes (very).

Jaz Coleman became a bit odd but Walker seemed like a 'solid' sort of chap.

Later stuff got a bit 'meaningful' I suppose.

Funnily enough I worked with a bloke who was their manager in the early days (Tony Bidgood - I think he managed The Stray Cats too). He was one of our admin staff. He wasn't pretentious either.

'Cause of death has not been released' :think:

I should imagine being a 100-year old man was cause enough....

Wow...I'd have guessed Kissinger died in the 90s! Had no idea he was (until very recently) still about.

As I once read somewhere: death is nature's way of telling you to take it a bit easier.

Seen them several times and when they were good they were awesome but remember a couple of poor performances (Reading Festival was the worst) where SM couldn't stand up on his own due to drink, the boys dumped him in a corner and carried on.
Personal favourite of mine is Young Ned of the hill, one of many fantastic songs they did.

Just saw a pic of him in his hospital bed, trying to smile for the camera. Doesn't look like it ended well! :thumbdown:

I am amazed that McGowan made it past 33 - let alone getting to 65.

Even more amazed his liver lasted with him
