I haven't been able to get Fade to Grey out of my head all day. And it's just a few notes and chord that keeps repeating over and over, the bit from the chorus where he says "fade to grey" and the keyboard player presses all the keys at the same time and it makes a beautiful noisy squeal.

Thanks for sharing TD.
I’d missed this news. He was quite a trailblazer in the era of the New Romantics.
Like BD, that period was a big part of my youth.

Mine too. He was in Ultravox for a while too I reckon. He played the Howard Devoto role to Midge Ure's Pete Shelley. Then left to form Visage.

Actually it was three. I just looked it up. I heard it on the radio, the reporter must have seen it on his FB feed and thiught it was current.
