Very surprised this hasn't been reported more widely. Only came across this today - he died on February 25th aged 64. Did anybody else notice? Very shocked at this - i liked alot of their tunes. Life's what you make it. Those words sound more potent now than ever. Rip Mark.

Liked their stuff, initially came out as an early 80's pop band but developed into a critically acclaimed and nuanced act, their albums are markedly different yet still identifiable as the same band, big in Germany and the Netherlands. Hollis self-identified as an artist and not a celeb probably the main reason he walked from the industry but left an excellent back catalogue. Such a shame (pun intended).

Sad news.

They had some absolutely fantastic songs. Desire and Life's What you Make it are two of my favourite songs.
