The Dead Cow 620 Posted February 26, 2019 An uncommon opinion, but The Top (the album Anderson played on) might be my favourite album by The Cure, so I'm saddened by this news. As I am about the news of Mark Hollis' death, those last three Talk Talk records and his solo record are just incredible. Spirit Of Eden is one of my favourite albums of all time. RIP to both of them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly, I may agree with your Cure album choice. There's two of us? Since I saw them tour for The Top, would I have seen Anderson live? SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The band's second lead vocalist, Jimi Jamison, died in September 2014. Didn't sing on 'Eye of the Tiger', but was the vocalist for several more U.S. top 40 hits, including three more top 10s. Earlier that year, short-term backup vocalist Fergie Fredriksen (who was on a number of deathlists), also passed away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 7, 2019 Former Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John and Paul McCartney tour and production manager Gerry Stickells died after a long illness, industry sources confirmed. Born in 1942, Stickells was broadly credited with having created the modern touring industry in a career that began when he took the job of Hendrix’s driver in 1966. He stayed with the iconic guitarist until his death in 1970, identified the body for official purposes and flew with it from the U.K. to the U.S. for burial.
