Aye - according to a friend of mine who knew Tony very well - he was extremely ill over the past few months

Anyway - just got back from town celebrating a friend's birthday.

This news has knocked me right back

RIP Mr Wilson - you will be sorely missed

I feel an airing of Love Will Tear Us Apart is in order here

Shocked to hear that. Again - didn't know he was ill.

R.I.P.

Slightly differing articles on the man in The Sunday Times (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article2241770.ece) and in The Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/news/2007/08/13/db1302.xml)

Upset me more than I thought it would. A great loss. RIP Tony.

Love the stories about him in the factory days; the contracts on the back of his hands, the floppy disk packaging that lost money on each copy sold of a no-mark dance number that went on to become the biggest selling 12" ever, the £30,000 conference table!
A true legend.

Yeah - the Hacienda is gone alright.

Maybe Alan Smith meant the "site" of the old Hacienda. Although Alan may be in Newcastle.

RIP.

A couple of years ago, on the clubs anniversary, hundreds, if not thousands of people broke into it and had one last rave in there, class.

Very interesting article in the Sindo last weekend about the life long friendship between Wilson and Sean Boylan the ex Meath manager.
