Heard the terribly sad news last night that Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks had died of a heart attack at the age of 63.
He wrote and sang some of the best songs of the late 70s and beyond. Originally a punk band, The Buzzcocks transcended categorisation and created some of pop music's finest moments. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert in early 1980 with Joy Division as the support group.
Rest In Peace Pete, and thank you.
