BBC:

Punk icon Poly Styrene dies at 53Punk singer Poly Styrene, former singer with the X Ray Spex, has died at the age of 53 after suffering from cancer. She was one of the first female punk icons, whose unorthodox yet infectious style was highly influential. Real name Marianne Elliot-Said, she had cancer of the spine and breast. A statement on her official Twitter feed said: "We can confirm that the beautiful Poly Styrene, who has been a true fighter, won her battle on Monday evening to go to higher places." Poly Styrene formed her band after watching the Sex Pistols perform on Hastings Pier on her 18th birthday and became known for her unpolished vocals and energetic rallying cries against consumerism and environmental destruction. X Ray Spex's signature tune was Oh Bondage Up Yours!, a riotous rejection of social and gender norms that began with Poly Styrene's spoken line: "Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard." The band released just one album, Germ Free Adolescents, in 1978, before splitting up. The singer went on to record a more subtle and subdued solo album, Translucence, in 1980, before retreating from the music industry to join the Hare Krishnas. She moved into a Krishna temple in Hertfordshire with her daughter, and struggled with bipolar disorder. Boy George - who once tried to break her out of the temple - was among those paying tribute on Twitter. He wrote: "I was a fan of Poly before I got to know her, she was a Krishna follower too, oh bless you Polly you will be missed! Legend!" Former Sex Pistols bassist praised the "general joie de vivre nuttiness" shown in songs like Oh Bondage Up Yours! "She wouldn't kow-tow to even what the punk fashions should be, I think that's what that song is about," Matlock told BBC 6 Music. "I did see her not that long ago so it's sad. Again, somebody from the punk rock scene has died far too young and it's a loss." TV presenter Jonathan Ross said his first concert was an X Ray Spex gig, adding that the singer had "changed lives". Poly Styrene occasionally re-emerged into the limelight, and released her third solo album, Generation Indigo, last month. "I know I'll probably be remembered for Oh Bondage Up Yours!" she told 6 Music last month. "I'd like to remembered for something a bit more spiritual."

Rest In Peace brother Gil Scott Heron :cry: :(

Gil Scott-Heron died Friday afternoon in New York, his book publisher reported. He was 62. The influential poet and musician is often credited with being one of the progenitors of hip-hop, and is best known for the spoken-word piece "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."Scott-Heron was born in Chicago in 1949. He spent his early years in Jackson, Tenn., attended high school in The Bronx, and spent time at Pennsylvania's Lincoln University before settling in Manhattan. His recording career began in 1970 with the album Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, which featured the first version of "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." The track has since been referenced and parodied extensively in pop culture.Scott-Heron continued to record through the 1970s and early '80s, before taking a lengthy hiatus. He briefly returned to the studio for 1994's Spirits. That album featured the track "Message to the Messengers," in which Scott-Heron cautions the hip-hop generation that arose in his absence to use its newfound power responsibly. He has been cited as a key influence by many in the hip-hop community — such as rapper-producer Kanye West, who closed his platinum-selling 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with a track built around a sample of Scott-Heron's voice.Scott-Heron struggled publicly with substance abuse in the 2000s, and spent the early part of the decade in and out of jail on drug possession charges. He began performing again after his release in 2007, and in 2010 released a new album, I'm New Here, to widespread critical acclaim.
