Billy MacKenzie:

was born in Dundee, Scotland, U.K on 27 March, 1957, he led a peripatetic lifestyle, which included decamping to New Zealand at the age of 16, and travelling across America aged 17. Here, to avoid deportation, he married Chloe Dummar. Her brother, Melvin Dummar, claimed to be the "one sixteenth" beneficiary of the estate of Howard Hughes, until the case was thrown out in 1978.

He returned to Scotland where he met Alan Rankine and in 1976 formed the Ascorbic Boys. They changed the name to The Associates in 1979. The Associates continued until 1990, after which Mackenzie embarked on a solo career. Mackenzie collaborated with more than a few artists during his career, including contributions to seminal Swiss outfit Yello's "One Second" album in 1987. Mackenzie provided vocals and wrote lyrics for two tracks on that release, and one "The Rhythm Divine" became a hit European single when legendary diva Shirley Bassey was recruited for vocals (Billie's original vocal track was no less powerful and saw release on the CD version of The Associates "Popera" compilation). On January 22, 1997, depression and the death of his mother are believed to have contributed to Mackenzie's suicide. He overdosed on prescription drugs in his father's garden shed in Auchterhouse, Scotland, United Kingdom

He was 39 years old.

Yes. A Billy-shaped hole in the world. The edges are still jagged. In that shed. Where the sadness goes. Yet where the light shines in. Dear dear Billy. Peace. ;-)

Billy's voice was pure magic, soft silk, warm honey, a diamond in sunlight. This song is hauntingly beautiful.

Only Billy could casually quote the Doors "Crystal Ship" and get away with it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Billy and all of his music. Poor darling boy. So unique and new.

Billy is one of the few singers, alongside Liz Frazer and Scott Walker and maybe Bjork, that can reduce me to tears but in a way that I find strangely comforting. This song and Kites are good examples of what I"m talking about. When Billy sings like this, it is as if he's saying; yeah things are bad but it doesn't last forever. I think I speak for many Billy fans, when I say that his death felt like the loss of someone we knew and love(d) dearly. I still find it hard to believe he's gone.
