He of the bonkers, yet unique, Cardiacs has left this mortal coil.

My band of the 1980s shared the same management as them so we played a couple of shows together, including our only gig at the Marquee. They were unlike anything else out there, and inspired a devoted following. Tim had a heart attack in 2007 and never properly recovered.

I expect a few posters on here will be aware of him.
They were never really my thing but I had a mate who was barmy about them. He would resign from jobs to follow them on complete legs of tours and got to know them a bit... apparently this was not unusual. 

RIP Tim.
I love the crazy Cardiacs sound.

RIP Tim.
I saw them supporting The Wildhearts, many years ago. I know Ginger was a big fan.

RIP Tim.
sad news. probably a blessed relief as he's been ill for so so long.
I will miss his Factoids
Sad news indeed - hadn't given them a thought since the 80s and Ironic considering the Band's name.
