Frontman and songwriter PETE SHELLEY of Manchester pop-punk legends
BUZZCOCKS died of a heart attack 5 years ago, on 6 December 2018. Only 63.

The band (still active, fronted by original member and co-songwriter Steve Diggle)
recorded/released 9 LPs with Shelley as the main songsmith, between 1978 and 2014. Many of their quick-fire singles charted in the UK, as well as their 3 first (their best) lonplayers.

Shelley made some solo albums, with his 1982 Homo Sapien as the most notable.
