Mark E Smith, the irascible frontman of Manchester post-punk band the Fall
<https://www.theguardian.com/music/fall>, has died at the age of 60.

Smith formed the Fall in 1976 in Prestwich and was the only constant member
of the band. He was known for his tempestuous relationship with his
bandmates, and frequently fired them – there have been 66 different members
over the years, with a third of them lasting less than a year.
