Pete Shelley (1955 – 2018)

Pete Shelley, lead singer and co-founder of Buzzcocks, passed away in 2018 at the age of 63.
A pioneer of British punk, he was best known for writing and performing Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve), a defining song of the late 1970s music scene.

Shelley’s energetic style and thoughtful lyrics helped shape the sound of modern alternative rock.
Here’s another favourite — Harmony in My Head — showcasing the band’s distinctive edge:

Very sad news.
I’ll read more about it when I can — such a loss to music.
RIP.

Good choice of song.
Ever Fallen in Love was the obvious pick, but that video is brilliant as well.
I still have two of their albums — timeless music.
RIP.

Pete Shelley’s passing really surprised me.
I’ve always liked his work with the Buzzcocks.
RIP.

Gone far too soon.
RIP.
