Very sad to hear that the songwriter Allee Willis has passed away. Our then manager, Tom Watkins, introduced us to her in 1985 and we were very impressed that she had co-written Earth Wind & Fire’s classic “Boogie Wonderland”. Not long after we went into a studio with her and wrote “What have I done to deserve this?”. Allee was also a talented visual artist and so much fun to be around. She will be much missed. Neil x

We are so sad to hear that Dave Ball, the keyboard genius of Soft Cell, has died. He was an electronic pop pioneer and with Marc Almond made a unique catalogue of songs, completely original in sound and content. Our love and condolences go to Marc and all those close to Dave.
