THE FALL – Reports Of Posthumous Album Named ‘POST SCRIPT’
Saying that Manchester‘s notorious post-punk icons THE FALL, the brainchild
of the late, controversial singer-songwriter MARK E. SMITH (1957-2018) had
a turbulent career is a huge understatement.
They hit the north in 1976 and broke up when Smith passed away,
8 years ago, after a long illness with lung and kidney cancer, aged 61.
Smith was an authoritarian bandleader who fired a long list of members.
But, yes, he was also a genial musician and storyteller who released 31 LPs
with an ever-changing group, which included his former Brix Smith for
two stints (1983–1989, and 1994–1996)
A posthumous called POST SCIPT should be out sometime this year.
