Goodbye you brilliant madman. Will love and miss you forever. This band was so entertaining to me as a kid, distracting me from my horrible childhood and providing some solace and identity (The Fall had a HUGE underground following even in the States thru kids like me). . Mark E. had this uniquely quirky lyrical composition an presentation that we will never see again. We have lost another musical Everest, never to be replaced. Kids today are incapable of this cuz they have no character, they are slaves to the popularity contest that is (anti)social media. Mark E. stood on his own and wouldnt give a toss about 'likes'. Rest in peace buddy. Peace out to Kids of the 70s/80s!

So eloquently put .... can't imagine my life without his brilliance. Such a loss , yet another amazing artist gone way to soon.

He was the only constant member of the fall because he was the fall!

Love him or hate him ,he was indeed a great visionary, and will be missed by many. I still listen to my original fall vinyl.

If you turn on the auto-generated subtitles, it calls MES, "Marquis Smith". How apt

Loved that what Tim is doing in this interview is channeling the nature of Mark by irrelevant answers to the daft questions - laughing along at his own mischievousness 😂 and i’m sure Mark was looking down and laughing along too

Good effort that the sound an that yeah, great upload.

is Tim in his grandads caravan? and a little bit wired?

The fall had originallity.

Total cringe fest. Its like the Minister describing one of your loved ones at their funeral when its clear that they have never met them. No excuse from so called journalists at the top.

Yep, I'm going to put "WHAT A C*NT!' on my gravestone, people won't know if they're being insulted or not and better yet nobody to argue with.

He died in 2018? Seems like last week. Ain't missed much has he

Did she say 'sometimes fearsome capo of The Fall'?

Alcohol....the most debilitating dope (if misused) dahh....

Tim, can I be your friend. Yeah I was Mark's window cleaner
