  • Crazy, so young, what a waste... We gave them one of their first gigs back in '86, they were all 15-16, we weren't that much older but at that age it felt like they were just babies...

  • Yeah, I’d forgotten he was so young at the start, tbh. He did cane it a bit, last saw him about 3 years ago and he didn’t look great then. RIP.

  • I didn't realise he'd written that song with Pete Doherty, that was a surprise... I also didn't realise he had such a big drug problem but seeing who some of his musical acolytes were maybe it makes a bit more sense now...

    I know someone who was mixed up with some of those guys and it fucking destroyed him and everyone around him, but he was beautiful and wrecked so that was totally okay... Mario Testino photographed him, everyone loved him but he was just a useless fucking drunk and junkie at the end of the day... He got kicked out of two/three bands that went on to make loads and loads of money... What a waste of talent...

    Anyway, RIP Mark Keds...
