Lindsay Cooper (1951 - 2013)

RIP Lindsay Cooper (Henry Cow) (1951-2013)


Just got this from Chris Cutler...

So sorry to pass on this unhappy news. Lindsay died this afternoon. She had contracted pneumonia and spent the last six days at home surrounded by a few old friends. She died very peacefully. The funeral will be next Wednesday 25 September at 4:30 PM at Golders Green crematorium."

On September 18, 2013 Lindsay Cooper died after many, many years of suffering from multiple sclerosis. It is a very sad day for yours truly and, I believe, for many of us who grew up listening to her wonderful music, from the Henry Cow days to the last compositions she wrote, not to mention the innumerable collaborations.

And she was so beautiful. What a shame. Rest in peace.
