Holger Czukay, co-founder and bassist of Can, has reportedly died aged 79 - a DDP pick.

 

Not enough Vitamin C?

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Apparently his wife died last month according to a source on Twitter, so it shows that they don't necessarily have to be super old for them to die a few months after their spouse. 

Anyways, it now means that CAN only has one surviving member from their core line up, with keyboardist Irmin Schmidt still alive.

Should probably also mention on a slightly less notable note, two Molly Hatchet members gone in the same year (Banner Thomas on bass, Hlubek on guitar)

Even less notable - two Felt members, both are bassists, and both named Mick!

Very sad.

 

Damo Suzuki is still alive from the classic line-up.

German media says he was "found dead" in his flat. The way it is worded is usually codeword for suicide.

People said that 2016 was cursed, but 2017 is much the same. Truth is there are a lot of ageing musicians and celebrities, some of whom have abused their bodies a fair bit through the years. So hardly unexpected that so many of them are dying!

He was an old man, his wife was a lot younger and had only died less than two months before ...

 

We will just have to see, it wasn't immediately obvious that it was suicide after Keith Emerson and Chris Cornell's deaths were reported.

Shitty bollocks!

 

Those teams who picked Holger Czukay have chosen the wrong member of Can!

 

RIP: One of the greatest drummers of all time - a human drum machine!

I'm just going to blame themaninblack for jinxing his death until it is proven that he had committed suicide.

The one pick that wasn't unique for most unique picks 2017...

 

If it was suicide, Most Uniques 2017 still gets a 3 point bonus on their one non-unique.
