The news was released through a statement on the band's official Facebook page, informing that the musician passed away after a "long illness" in his hometown of Brighton & Hove, in the United Kingdom. According to the statement, he was surrounded by his wife, stepdaughter and his dogs at the time of his death, with the sound of MC5 playing in the background. David Thomas formed Pere Ubu in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. Although the band achieved little commercial success, its influence was enormous in underground music in the following decades, influencing styles such as art-pop, post-punk and new wave on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. For the history, Pere Ubu released iconic albums such as ð—§ð—µð—² ð—*ð—¼ð—±ð—²ð—¿ð—» ð——ð—®ð—»ð—°ð—², ð——ð˜‚ð—¯ ð—›ð—¼ð˜‚ð˜€ð—¶ð—»ð—´, ð—¡ð—²ð˜„ ð—£ð—¶ð—°ð—»ð—¶ð—° ð—§ð—¶ð—ºð—² and ð—–ð—¹ð—¼ð˜‚ð—±ð—¹ð—®ð—»ð—±.
