RIP Florian Schneider

Just seen on the BBC that Florian Schneider has died. It didn't say from what.

a sad day for music.

That's very sad, a great pioneer of electronic music. Ironically the last couple of days I've been learning 'The Model' on the Ukulele that was posted on the lockdown music thread. R.I.P

I've been playing the extended version quite a lot since i found it on you tube. i can't say i liked much of their stuff,in fact 'The Model' is the only one i really like. Still,it's sad news about his death though.

Loved Kraftwerk! Along with Pink Floyd, the only bands whose music I could listen to almost anytime.

Sad news indeed.

BBC says he'd been diagnosed with cancer.

I'll be listening to a lot of Kraftwerk tomorrow. RIP sir.
