Just as I imagined, 4 unassuming looking blokes tearing it up with dangerous lyrics and a stunning groove. Go4, thanks for tingling my spine one more time, RIP

Several months later, his symptoms and circumstances pointed to Covid. Nothing that I've heard gives it as a definitive cause of death, but medical experts agree that nothing else adds up to what transpired.
