RIP

Oh no, he was a legend.

:-(

quite shocked by this, but you've spelt his name wrong!

I guess it will just be the Oldies on MN who will post here - but I will throw my hat in and say I was quite shocked. I rmemebr having an invite to go to one of his soirees in Camden back in the 80's .....and...turning it down!!! What was I thinking of? Like I'd have soemthing better to do that evening!?? Am still kicking myself now.

Oh really? I was only talking about him yesterday. Spooky.

! !

How old was he?

60?

how shocking. oh dear.

Sorry about the name am an atrocious typer!was regularly spending my wages at their shop in the 80s Definitely iconic for me and all my fashiony friends He was 64 I think

on her birthday
pshwaw

he was a nob.

Did you know him?

He was a bit of a twat, but an iconic twat. Very astute, I'd have said.

How sad

How did he die?

cancer

I'm sad. Iconic. Eccentric. Definitely a bringer of colour and dreams.

I was saddened too, yes a rogue, if not a arrogant tw@t at times, but a one that had a real impact on fashion & music & the world will be a sadder place without him

I am really starting to feel old now (nearly 47) when people I admired/hated/laughed at/lusted after are starting to snuff it. Not sure that M.M was in any of these catagories but he was still an interesting part of my youth...

Wouldn't say I was his biggest fan, but punk did owe him a fair bit. Sad to see him go.

It's a shame he's gone. I was a teeny bit too young to value his input at the time (am 45) but he was one of those people who made stuff happen.
But a lot of the non-musician icons and important people are going... Swells, Carol Clerk...
