A rotten tragedy. Never a bigger rock star than his bands, never made a squillion quid off the back of anybody, and always, always Manchester. So he missed the Smiths and the Hac was a bit rubbish but hey. Anyone who was actually losing money on every copy of ‘Blue Monday’ sold, yet continued to press them because it was art is an absolute hero.
See ya Tone.
Another hero of modern music heads off to the dingy but throbbing club in the sky. He’s already being missed.
