We are sad to learn that Buzzcocks’ co-founder Pete Shelley has died of a heart attack at the age of 63.
We caught the band’s last Minneapolis appearance at the Varsity Theater in September 2014 and wrote, “I may have said that Pete Shelley was the only original member of Buzzcocks. Although that is technically true, I believe Steve Diggle (who joined later) is really as much a part of the Buzzcocks as anyone since 1976. And let me tell you - watching Diggle on stage is a delight.”
I love so many Buzzcocks songs, and the band played many of my favorites on their live show (including “I Don't Mind”, “Fast Cars”, “Autonomy”, “What Do I Get?”, and, of course, their two best-known songs “Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)” and “Orgasm Addict”.
