Me neither.....
Doctors recommended he take the drug Sutent after chemotherapy failed to beat the disease, but the NHS refused to fund the £3,500-a-month treatment.
However, members of the Happy Mondays and other acts he supported over the years stepped in and started a fund to help pay for it.
Typical of the NHS and, I'd like to think......typical of Happy Mondays and 'other acts he supported'!

A sad loss, quite liked what I saw of the guy and his
contribution to the spread good music was outstanding,
(despite what he thought of the Stranglers).
Somewhere, Atmosphere is playing for him.
RIP

I know, I just noticed. Mr.Lust must be quoting the Simpsons by now,
