An amazing man in the world of music, could craft moody pop perfection and also drop one of the most brooding albums ever in “Laughing Stock”, very saddened by this, RIP

Thank you mods, RIP

Obligatory RIP. Never listened to the music but sad to see this happened regardless.

this really really sucks. with his death it's also like the 80's died ... just how I feel. his appearance in the ''It's my life'' video was a benchmark of nostalgia for me. i idolized him in how he did his own thing and was anti-music business. the music the band put out at the end of their career was extremely influential and groundbreaking...

even weirder, I was just listening to Eden by them.

MarsKid, take an hour to listen to Spirit of Eden on the best speakers you can find. Be patient, don't let your phone or anything else distract you. It's one of the greatest musical experiences I've ever had. Laughingstock may be even better, although it takes a little more patience to appreciate fully.

RIP

RIP. Talk Talk changed music forever.

God damn this one sucks a lot. He was a genius and laughing stock is a top album for me.

R.I.P Mark.
Talk Talk, one of my favourite bands

Such a talent. Rest In Peace, Hollis.

RIP.

R.I.P. to a brilliant musician. Talk Talk's journey from regular 80's new wave to experimental/art rock masterpieces is one of the greatest arcs in pop music history.

^so true ... RIP

Such a tremendous loss to not only British music but the entirety of the medium as a whole. So many great songs and albums... his musical influence has spread so far, that he will never be forgotten.

RIP.

damn RIP

rest in peace

I still can't believe Such a Shame is what these guys will be remembered for (by the masses)

Spirit of Eden is a captivating piece of art. Laughing Stock & The Colour of Spring too. RIP

Words fail me...
One of the most incredible artist ever, rest in peace

I only really know It's My Life, but it's always going to be one of my favourite songs, my mum is a big fan and I know she'll be really sad about this RIP

anyone gonna review his solo album finally?

Rest In Peace to a great artist.

This is a major bummer. Hollis was a great artist :/

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ((((((

Wtf is this bullshit. Fuck reality. Sad rip.

RIP

It’s crazy, I heard “It’s My Life” on a soccer game on TV so I add it to my Apple Music, then I come on here and see this. RIP extremely hard. And to find out that his band went and helped make (from what I’ve read) post-rock, I will definitely be diving in to their albums.

RIP

Was listening to Laughing Stock right before I heard about this. Amazing music, RIP brother.

This news is devastating to me on the level of Bowie, Lemmy, and Chris Cornell. Talk Talk's last three albums are some of my favorite records ever. Some of the most immaculately produced, spiritual, beautiful, and influential material ever recorded, and he had such a distinct, beautiful voice as well. He didn't just make music; he made art. Shame he's still largely underappreciated these days.

It's a shame we could never get more material from him in his lifetime, but he left a resounding legacy nonetheless. RIP

Reminded me that he is one of the few actors with a passion and knowledge of music.
