Damn. That's a rough way to go.

Those first three albums by The Beat are probably my all-time top three favorite ska/2-tone albums. Top-notch classics, each one.

R.I.P.

It’s not like you’re going to be any deader.

Also, 56 years is a fair shake at life imo

I see a story about heart surgery. I guess it didn't go well?

Or am I being bamboozled.

Davey Williams (1952 - 2019)

Transmuseq was fantastic - as were a lot of the other projects he was involved in.
Got to see him with LaDonna Smith a couple of times back in the 80s.
I'd bring out some of the LPs if I hadn't just boxed them up and sent them away.

Davey Williams improv with "motorized base-ball glove":
