Mark E Smith

[The Ledge]

Just heard this. I'm not usually genuinely sad with most passings but I'm a bit glum at the moment. RIP Mark E Smith.

Fuck. Only just got on from a fucking hard day at work to this. Fucking tragic. Loved the Fall, great group, and his style will never be matched. Sad day.

Should be played at every game that tune. RIP, a legend.

To be fair they have played it most games this season, it’s normally on about 15 mins before kick off.

That's sad. A talent and a maverick who didn't care what people think. Saw the Fall once and have some of their records. He was absolutely one of a kind and will be sadly missed.

Gutted. Not a massive fall fan but he was a character.

Yeah can't remember a time in the last few years I haven't heard it at a home game, love the tune, always makes me think of City's resurgence for some reason.

Very sad but probably not the most surprising news. Was lucky enough to see the fall in their very early days at deeply vale and a social club in bowdon of all places

Sad to hear. He made, in my opinion, one of the great albums of all time in ''This Nation's Saving Grace'.
