Not by any means a major prog band, a bit like the aforementioned group Man. But still, another one bites the dust.

Dagmar Krause, vocalist and pianist in multiple avant-rock bands including Slapp Happy, Henry Cow, and Art Bears - is reported dead, multiple tributes have been posted in social media, still no official confirmation that I could find.

Still no confirmation re Dagmar. There's a Dagmar Krause who died in Australia in 2018, case of mistaken identity I think.

Apparently so, I'm seeing some corrections from people who posted their eulogies, they seem to have referred to a different German lady with the same name who was a big prog-rock buff.
