Soft Cell star Dave Ball, praised as a “wonderfully brilliant musical genius” by his bandmate Marc Almond, has died aged 66.
Almond, 68, confirmed Ball’s death in a statement on Thursday, saying he wished his musical partner, who died on Wednesday, days after completing the band’s final album, would have “stayed on long enough to celebrate our 50 years together in a couple of years’ time”.
