Mark Hollis, líder y cantante de la banda Talk Talk falleció a los 64 años, lo confirmó su ex-manager.
«Tristemente es verdad», dijo Keith Aspden. «Mark ha fallecido tras una corta enfermedad de la cual nunca se recuperó.»
Keith Aspden dijo a la BBC que «aún estaba tratando de aceptar» que su viejo colega haya fallecido.
«No te puedo decir cuanto Mark influenció y cambió mi percepción sobre arte y música», dijo.
«Estoy agradecido por el tiempo que pasé con él y por la delicada belleza que compartió con nosotros.»
Entre las celebridades que le rindieron homenaje se encuentran Gary Kemp de Spandau Ballet y Duran Duran.
Kemp dijo que Hollis fue una «gran presencia en la era moderna» y que su «influencia en la música fue inmensa y de gran alcance».
Los Duran Duran describieron a Hollis como «uno de los grandes innovadores de la música», mientras que su primo político Anthony Costello, lo llamó «un padre y esposo maravilloso» y «un hombre fascinante y con principios».

Really saddened by the passing of Mark Hollis. Talk Talk were a brilliant band, a real one-off, and Hollis was a genuine artist

RIP Mark Hollis
Most bands will never record an album like Spirit of Eden https://t.co/dHm8yrpR9S— frenchbloke (@frenchbloke) February 25, 2019
one of the most amazing writers of my generation. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him at our studios September Sound in the 90s when he was working on new music. This is incredible. https://t.co/PVAU1yk2CZ

I can’t believe i’m typing this but RIP Mark Hollis. These are actually probably my two favorite albums ever made. they’ve always been there for me in the worst of times and brought me so much inspiration in the best of times. One of the greatest geniuses in music ever. 💔RIP pic.twitter.com/Lh0dw0WxEa

Always liked this quote from Mark Hollis:
“Before you play two notes, learn how to play one note, y’know?
And don’t play one note unless you’ve got a reason to play it.”
You can definitely hear in his music that he lived by those words. pic.twitter.com/pWVFQJjlBH— DänielNöthing (@DanielNothing) February 25, 2019

Very sorry to hear the news that #MarkHollis of #TalkTalk has died. He was behind some of the finest albums of the 1980s / early 1990s. R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/IoTuAkGCUf

Even though he’d been near silent for 20 years, #MarkHollis dying is a devastating loss. I did pretty much his last interview, and I genuinely believe music meant so much to him, it was painful to pace it in the public glare. RIP. I Believe In You.
