Tony would have probably laughed at all the .."who ?" answers. He was only in it to bring great art and brilliant music to the masses not just the elite. He did it . We all know the product and the personalties but he was who set the wheels in motion .... (oh aye and the sex pistols as well ..!!).
Thanks for the Tunes Mr Wilson.
(ok.... he would also have loved reading all his great obituaries as well ..but hey so would I if I was Tony Wilson,)

Hi!
I never met him, but I was absolutely stunned when I heard it on the radio this morning. I immediately felt like someone had kicked me in the stomache - it was so sudden!
He was only on tv the other day telling us all about the problems he was having in getting the drugs he needed.
He was lucky enough to have family and friends who could help him afford them privately.
I feel absolutely distraught that his life was so sadly cut short.
All I can hope is that he wasn't in too much pain in the end , and that he went quickly.
My heart goes out to his family, he was a lovely, lovely guy.

I remember him hosting a studenty type game show thingy in the early 90's ( I think???) called remote control. Along with that Frank Sidebottom character.
The programme was garbage !!!! Yet addictively watchable ( all at the same time )
He will be a big miss.
Gone , but NEVER forgotten.

Really..!!..Wow,..seemed a bit young. How?
..think he ripped off a few bands in the early days, on a personal level though.
Be a few people that won't miss him.

i am shocked. saw him recently on local news about his drugs battle - local health authority would not give him his cancer meds for free - even shaun ryder was offering to help pay. don't think hooky was though. but it is a sad piece of news you've broken to me.
