Toepoke Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Seems he's been pretty sick for a while. A shame, only 55. Edited February 12, 2015 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital Saint Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) My wee contribution of how I remember him. Edited February 12, 2015 by Capital Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow jock Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 A man of his time, was at the forefront of the "New Romantic" scene, for all his ups & downs in his career (I think fade to grey was a no.1 hit) he always said his biggest achievement was getting a bit part in Bowies (his hero) Ashes To Ashes video. Enjoy Your Night Train Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindimoo Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 He was such a gentle soul but with a sharp tongue if you crossed him. I remember watching him on Celebrity Scissorhands (for Comic Relief), he wasn't a great cutter but his artistic flair helped him win the show!
