Super sad! It's such a scary time right now, stuff like this hits pretty close to home. Hope everyone is being careful.
Had no idea that Thomas Dolby wrote my favourite song of his, One Of Our Submarines, after attending a Thompson Twins show at the ULU (University of London Union), off Tottenham Court Road, so inspired by the gig. News to me. Don't remember that from his book, but I might've forgotten that detail.
Thomas Dolby doing a live tribute/discussion in memory of Matthew live, right now.
