Certain pre-90’s songs by Martin always get mentioned. But it was his profound sincerity when writing songs about the environment that I appreciated. This man genuinely cared, and was a celebrity who actually created lasting works, earning the attention and affection many lovingly heaped on him at home and abroad.
My sincerest condolences to Martin's family and friends. I am so sad today to hear about his unexpected passing this morning.Martin was a faraway dear friend of mine all these years. I am shocked.........
So sad to hear the news, gone way too soon. I was so stoked to see them at a Powerstation show up close way way back. Love so much of your work Martin. Thoughts go out to the family while I deal with my own loss only a few weeks back, it's been an awful year.
I loved this song back in the eighties. He died suddenly and unexpected (ploetzlich und unerwartet in German). Well, what could be the cause... His music will be remembered 💖.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Martin. Love this song and the unique sound these guys made. It's on the top of my Kiwi classic playlist...
RIP Martin Phillipps (July 2, 1963 - July 28, 2024), aged 61
You will be remembered as a legend.

Has there ever been a better line than “Sorrows my reward b cause I’m unhappy with me too.”
Always a highlight of their shows, and that's really saying something.
Rest in peace Martin. Prayers of support to his family and friends.

Classic song. I remember this song on "The Young Ones", the British comedy with Rick, Vivian, Neil, Cliff Richards and someone else I think.
We'll you remembered WRONG lmao. This song wasn't even released for another 3 years after the last episode of The Young Ones
A great big hug .
Rip Martin
Rest in peace 💐

In the same league as Brian Wilson, Lennon/McCartney and those he sang about on ' Soft Bomb'
