OT - The Legend Chris Sievey dies (Frank Sidebottom)

[Peperami no. 1]

Very sad news and I know a few on here will remember the trips to Altrincham with the compulsory tribute badge. Always had time for a bit of banter with the away fans.

Sad news indeed, thought he was great.
Got a couple of his singles somewhere "material boy" was one, lol, he claimed Madonna
ripped him off

And he'd only just recorded his world cup song 'It's gone next door, it's gone next door - me football's gone next door!'

RIP Frank - I'm sleeping in my 'Frank's World' T-shirt tonight as a mark of respect!
