RIP - Tony Wilson

In music on 15 August 2007 with no comments

Tony Wilson, founder of Factory Records, has died at age 57. I grew up listening to Joy Division, New Order, A Certain Ratio, and much more from that fantastic label. Tony was immortalized in the film 24hr Party People, a surprisingly good (and entertaining) look at that music scene.

More at the BBC and NME.
