Kin'ell! :shock:
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 :evil: and, I'd like to think......typical of Happy Mondays and 'other acts he supported'! 8)

:shock:
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

Knew he was ill, but a shock that he's gone. Not a great fan of the guy personally but he made a massive contribution to this area(Greater Manchester.) RIP mate.
