This bit of sad news comes from CMU:

The guitarist with eighties band Deacon Blue - who reformed in 1999 - has died after a four year battle with cancer. Graeme Kelling, aged 47, died from cancer of the pancreas at a Glasgow hospital on Thursday.

In a statement on their website the band told fans this Friday: "It is my
sad duty to tell you that Graeme Kelling died yesterday morning. As you know
Graeme has had a four year fight with an illness which finally got the
better of him."

Fans are invited to post any "great memories, photographs or thoughts about
Graeme" to an online remembrance book.

Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.
