That's the post. This is one that makes me deeply sad.

Dave Allen, Bass Player for Influential Postpunk Band Gang of Four, Dies at 69

Re: RIP Dave Allen

That's really sad; the OG band isn't doing that well. I managed to see them a couple times when they did their first reunion in the early 2000s and they were still so good. I should probably see the current version one last time on this tour.

A really great guy and what a sad way to go.

Re: RIP Dave Allen

:( Never saw Gang of Four before, always wanted to. Now with 50% of the OG band gone... shit.
