Mark E. Smith, frontman of post-punk band the Fall, dies at 60

LOS ANGELES: Mark E. Smith, the cantankerous longtime leader of the raw British post-punk band the Fall, died Wednesday at his home, according to the band’s website. A cause of death has not been revealed, but Smith had been suffering for health issues for some time and had cancelled a 2017 U.S. tour.

The band’s manager said at the time that his medical issues were ”connected to his throat mouth/dental & respiratory system.” He performed last year in a wheelchair in the U.K.
