Undertones star has cancer

I don't know if anyone heard, but Undertones bassist Michael Bradley has been diagnosed with bowel cancer, but he's on the mend according to a post (by him) on their message boards.

Their website has been re-designed as well, I think The Stranglers should have something like this made for them!

I think band members posting on forums is a bit naff really.

I used to post on the Cardigans forum where their band members wouldpost too. One day I happened to comment that lead singer Nina was worth a digit (well she is!). Bassist Magnus got all stroppy and posted:

"This is wrong to talk of Nina like viss. Nina is married woman. More respect we must show when feelings come out in open on such forum as viss".

So bollocks to band members posting I say.

I think band members posting is a good thing, Pete Shelley does it.
