Heaven knows it’s got to be this time

È un po’ che non scrivo, anche se avrei molte cose da dire, forse troppe, ma sento di dover mettere tutto da parte per onorare quel poco che posso la memoria di qualcuno che ieri ci ha lasciati:

The man who signed Joy Division, Happy Mondays passes away

Anthony H. Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records, has died of a heart attack today (August 10) at the age of 57.

Wilson is best known for signing legendary bands including Joy Division and New Order to his label, and as owner of the Hacienda nightclub in Manchester.

He played a key role in the Madchester scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, signing the Happy Mondays.

Wilson passed away on this evening in the hospital after suffering a heart attack that his doctor said was unrelated to his recent battle with cancer.

Professor Robert Hawkins, his doctor at Christie hospital, told the Guardian: “It’s very sad. He died as a result of something unrelated to his cancer. His cancer was responding well to treatment but obviously did contribute to his poor health”.

Ciao, Tony, sono contento di avere avuto il piacere almeno di vederti, una volta.
