The RIP thread...

RIP John Ecstasy Fletcher. Cycled to former Conny Plank studio location today in very unrap rain and cold.

No sus circs and family asking for privacy usually means suicide, unfortunately.

She had recently separated from her husband of over 20 years, apparently. Very sad.

I just realised I met her in the Regent one night, I was so starstruck... One of the barstaff was a friend or something, they all piled in after some kind of a get together and there I was sitting with Stella Tennant... RIP... Were you there that night, @snowy_again? It's so blurry, as most nights in that place tended to be...

Edit: It was Erin O'Connor, not Stella...

RIP Ozone!

Absolutely gutted about Shabba Doo.. that’s my childhood right there. RIP legend

Michael Alig. Heroin overdose on Christmas day. Going out in style.

Proper old school. Would never have made it in the premier league as he was far too rough around the edges.

Not really my scene but son #1 had introduced me to his stuff. Too young.

Ah shit, some of his stuff is amazing.

We’re now having an evening of his tunes.

Mf Doom noooooo, 😔😔😔

Just read this also. Although he actually died October 31st and the family have just announced it. Very sad. Another legend gone.

Just seen this. Only 49. He died at the end of October apparently. But released something a month ago. All a bit weird.

Madvillainy is one of the best albums ever put out. Such shit news.

Ah man MF Doom 😓

Did not know that. Met the guy few times when he was at Villa.

MF DOOM ‘til 2021 in our place now

This got me fucked up. Favourite mc of all time.

One of the very best Mc's
Rest in power.

Just heard about Doom. Shit news indeed. Co-sign on madvillainy praise - definitely re-ignited hip hop love with me at the time.

MF DOOM forever.

Black Bastards is probably the last great album from the golden age of hip hop.. Deeply sad.

Gonna be blasting MF DOOM all day.

Living on borrowed time the clock ticks faster...
