Polly Styrene RIP
I must admit that I haven't been following the news much of late but I am sorry I missed the news that Polly Styrene (born Marianne Elliot-Said), formerly of X Ray Spex had died last week.
She was being treated for breast cancer which sadly had spread to her lungs and spine. She was 53 years old.

I saw about this on another blog. Her passing didn't exactly make headline news.
It didn't but still a shame though
My contemporaries are dying more frequently; I'm beginning to be unsurprised.
I know how you feel SE
