[Music] RIP Mark Hollis

[Bold Seagull]

I love Talk Talk - Hollis was a genius. Massively influential and massively underrated. RIP.

Didn't Guy Garvey say something like Mark Hollis's music was up there with comparison to landing on the moon in terms of achievement, Hollis not really being able to play an instrument particularly well, punk giving him the confidence that it shouldn't really matter. Going on to write some of the most memorable and timeless tunes from the '80s was remarkable.

Do we know what 'short illness' he died of? News reports don't appear to have confirmed it.

I let YouTube decide my music videos for me today, as I worked, and it came up with Talk Talk’s It’s My Life live in 1985. Brilliant. Mark Hollis and his work will never be forgotten. Fact.
