Goddamn it. What a beautiful man to put up with that all the way til the end.
I never had the pleasure of seeing Bill perform live, unfortunately.
RIP. Condolences to family and those who knew him.
Awful news. Robyn Hitchcock posted on FB that Billās wife passed away last March from lymphoma. Bill apparently had prostate cancer surgery in 2012, so he has been battling for a while. I only ever saw him play live with Ministry in '89, and Pigface in '91. Rest in peace, Bill.

Terrible news. RIP Bill. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
I did some reading on Bill today and found this cool page of Robert Fripps wife. Evidently Bill and her were tight. It also seems that Bill and Robert Fripp got pretty tight too. Man, think for a moment how much that guy has accomplished. Iād like to say Iām familiar enough with music to know that King Crimson is one of those bandās thatās a musicanās band. Iām not a big fan, but I do know that they are very knowledgeable and talented. You could say that to be accepted and loved by this level of musicianship is a rare thing, and Iād have to agree. I could only dream to be that talented.
Iām a huge King Crimson fan but understand why they arenāt for everyoneā¦thanks for the link!!
