FLY2 10,108 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Pete Shelley, lead singer and guitarist with the 70's punk band The Buzzcocks, has died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 63. Whilst not exactly a fan of punk music, they were one of the better groups of that genre, and made some superb songs, including the brilliant 'Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't Have). Well we all have at some stage of our lives I suppose haven't we folks ? Superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 I thought the Buzzcocks were definitely one of the better punk bands, with several great 3-minute singles. It's also worrying that he has died despite being younger than me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Likewise Cliff. I always count myself lucky when someone younger than myself pops it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's being so cheerful keeps me going! 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
