Very sad news RIP Mark Hollis
No way this is not happening. Cannot believe this news. The last thing I was expecting. :(
So sad! Love Talk Talk.
Such a loss
RIP Mark
FAKE HOAX – he already died in the early nineties from drugs…
He released a short piece for a TV show in 2012 so, no he didn’t die from drugs way back when. https://consequenceofsound.net/2012/09/new-music-mark-hollis-arb-section-1/
Fuck off mate
Show some respect instead of your obvious ignorance and stupidity!!!
There’s stupid, very stupid and then there’s you.
Maybe the BBC is lying, too. Fake news?

Hard to believe and to accept.
He was so deep and structured. I loved his songs and voice.
May his soul be bright forever.
So sad …one of my favourite bands…used to have their albums on continual repeat…much loved…much missed. RIP
I cannot believe RIP
As the title of Talk Talk’s first album mentions….The Party’s Over….loved the track It’s So Serious, which was also the b side to Today their second single back in 1982. R.I.P.
A Loss , A Spirit
Talk Talk still sound unique to this day.
This is yet another tragedy for music.
I just hope his passing will spark interest within a new generation of listener and influence the next wave of talent.
God bless you Mark.

I deeply upset at the death of Mark Hollis. Are there pics of his family. Hopefully in a good way his fans will be told the cause of death which I personally think it may have been cancer. However he has definitely made an impression on me. Rip
So sad. Mark you will stay in our thoughts…
