Mark Hollis, lead singer for the 1980s rock band Talk Talk, has died. He was 64.
“Mark has died after a short illness from which he never recovered,” former manager Keith Aspden told BBC News on Tuesday.
“I can’t tell you how much Mark influenced and changed my perceptions on art and music. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him and for the gentle beauty he shared with us,” Aspden went on to tell NPR.
The British rock band Talk Talk earned mainstream success in the ’80s with hits including “It’s My Life,” “Today,” “Life’s What You Make it,” and “Such a Shame.”
