    I saw them in Wakefield only last year and they were brilliant. Mark E Smith was a genius, and still making an album pretty much every year. Very sad

    'The poet Ian McMillan said Smith was the “spiky poet of every awkward moment any of us ever lived through, lit by the metallic glow of the ship canal.”'

    Devastated. Always thought he'd outlive me, and I'm only 32.

    I echo that. I saw him in Glasgow last year and he look awful. He was only on stage for 45 minutes and that included 2 instrumentals when he left the stage.

    I got into the Fall pretty late but I'm glad I managed to catch them live a few times. One of a kind and he will be sadly missed.
