Mark Hollis, a synth-pop hitmaker and pioneering art-rock innovator as the frontman of Talk Talk, has died at the age of 64.
Hollis’ manager, Keith Aspden, confirmed the musician’s death to Pitchfork. “I’m still trying to accept this, but sadly it’s true,” Aspden said in a statement. “Mark has died after a short illness from which he never recovered. Deeply felt sorrow for a remarkable person who remained true to himself throughout his life. I can’t tell you how much Mark influenced and changed my perceptions on art and music.
