Steve Mackey RIP


Can it really be 30 years since I first got into Pulp? Yep, apparently so. I was lucky enough to catch some of their iconic early-ish gigs too (yes, I know they formed in 1864), including THAT 1995 Glastonbury headliner set when they were called up to replace Stone Roses. So it was particularly sad to learn that Pulp's bassist Steve Mackay had passed away at just 56 years old (three years or so older than I am now...jeez...that's a sobering thought). RIP dude. 


I only just discovered that he worked with another of my favourite bands from back in the day, The Long Blondes, too. 


RIP dude.
