Artist Collapses Onstage and Dies
Mick Farren, a hippie-punk-poet-journalist-novelist-rocker who first appeared on the radar in the 1960s, collapsed onstage in London on Saturday night and died shortly after. He was a couple of months short of his 70th birthday. No cause of death has been announced.
Farren’s first band was The Deviants, a group that was big with the 60s underground crowd. He later recorded a series of solo records, a couple with Wayne Kramer of the MC5 and a few more Deviants records.
