New Face in Hell 🎵 – Mark E Smith, lead singer with The Fall, dies aged 60. So many hours of my life spent listening to The Fall, from the late 70s, recording their sessions from the John Peel Show, to seeing them at the Green Man festival a couple of years ago (pictured here). Favourite albums Live at the Witch Trials and Grotesque.
