Very sad news! I didn’t really get into them until after Budgie replace him, but I really liked their earlier stuff, especially Join Hands.

Siouxsie wrote the song "Drop Dead" about Kenny and John McKay.

Sad news about his passing.

My favorite from the Morris-McKay era is The Staircase (Mystery).

RIP — they had a unique sound that was more intelligent than their peers at the time.

Wow, R.I.P. Loved their early run of albums.

I hadn't listened for a bit, then about 2 weeks ago had just done a good, deep dive back into those first 5 albums or more, lots of great stuff still.
