Very sad news.

Gutted!! Only just read this on here. Have been constantly playing Generation Indigo since I bought it last week, so the news is even more poignant.

Very sad.

Very shit start to the working week , her unique vocals have inspired many girls to form bands . Her recent lp is so deserving of a wider audience ...ironically her passing may provide that .... :(

Really shit week. Stuman then this. Does anyone know the cancer charity to donate to? I appreciate any donation is better than nothing but I'd rather have direction from friends of Stuman (particularly as I suspect some nurses/hospital looked after him and made things (hopefully) easier for him - I'd like to donate to that if possible.
