Pete Shelley - R.I.P.

[South-Punk Admin]

Southend Punk is saddened to hear of the passing of Pete Shelley (born Peter Campbell McNeish), Vocalist and Guitarist of Buzzcocks.

An official statement by Buzzcocks said:

'It's with great sadness that we confirm the death of Pete Shelley, one of the UK's most influential and prolific songwriters and co-founder of the seminal original punk band Buzzcocks. Pete's music has inspired generations of musicians over a career that spanned five decades and with his band and as a solo artist, he was held in the highest regard by the music industry and by his fans around the world.'

Buzzcocks were such a superb band and were truly sublime live and on record. Their inspiration is beyond measure and their music will forever live on in all our hearts. Thanks for all the music...


Rest in Peace Pete
