Tom Verlaine dead at 73 2023-01-29 by Reverse Perpendiculars | 15 Comments | Tom Verlaine passed peacefully to an unnamed "brief illness" at the age of 73, and was said to have been surrounded by his close friends at the time of his death.
Known as a monumental figurehead for the band Television, their 1977 landmark debut album Marquee Moon (and it's subsequent 10+ minute title track) was listed in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time at #107. After Television first disbanded in 1978, Tom went on to have a prolific solo career with several albums.

Tom Verlaine was one of most underrated/forgotten reinventors of rock as a musical genre. Marquee Moon is the ground zero for everything that gets categorized as post-punk these days.
RIP.
