Steve Bronski gets a full Telegraph Obit, the first full obit I have seen: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2021/12/14/steve-bronski-keyboardist-bronski-beat-trio-created-landmark/ Sometimes it's better not to know the cause of death. As the year moves on, this is a year I will not forget. If you get a chance YW, go listen to the '82–'92 decade mix by Flight Facilities. Contains a lot of brilliant tunes from that era (including Bronski Beat), which I'm sure you'll appreciate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That song is incredibly annoying. Quite an amusing interview of them from Oct 1997, below. They thought they were en route to producing the next "Thriller". Oh to be 17 and full of confidence! Very sad that he has died aged just 42 and leaves behind a young family. Awful time of year for them too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
