RIP Tim Smith

Cardiacs frontman. My all-time #1 musical hero. Spent the past 12 years tragically incapacitated. His suffering is at an end. Farewell.

  • RIP, great band, however never knew that about him. 
  • The first band I ever saw when I moved to London from bonnie Jockland. The old Marquee Club on Wardour St,1985. Instantly hooked and caught them live as often as I could until their final tour in 2007 I think it was. Brilliant front man, guitarist, vocalist, songwriter. Absolutely devasted when I saw this news earlier. RIP Tim, Leader of the Starry Skies. 
  • RIP.

    Great band.
  • I was stunned that my cousin would be notable enough to warrant an RIP thread on Charlton Life. That said, I’m happy to realise he’s still alive!
  • RIP but glad his suffering is at an end.

    Genuinely individual, unique and groundbreaking (words bandied around far too often in relation to musicians)

    I like to think of him passing over to another world accompanied by the last two minutes of 'Dirty Boy'.


  • Here it is, in fact. Hopefully someone clicks 'play' by accident
