Oh my god!

This has upset me.  I saw Hatfield and the North last year and although I didn't meet him myself (I met Richard Sinclair and Phil Miller was stood nearby), I will greatly remember him from this gig especially.  The gig was amazing and a huge surprise.  At the time of attendance, I hadn't heard much Hatfields, but the gig just blew me away, amazing!

Pip Pyle you will be missed.  So young too.  My own father reaches 60 soon, so it's such a shame he died at only 56.

Requiscat in pace Pip Pyle. CryUnhappy

Wow. This is really sad news and very shocking too. He will be greatly missed. I have the Absolute zero album and I still haven't played it. Now I have more reason to play it.

I only know him from the National Health albums, but I will play Phlakaton in his memory - the greatest phonetic drum solo ever recorded!
 
RIP mate, way too young.

Very sad.

I've just known and loved his playing for a year or two. Loved Pip Pyle's drumming from first listen. I'll play all the National Health and Hatfield and the North albums I own tomorrow. Halfway Between Heaven and Earth and Tenemos Roads are two of my alltime favorite tracks.

A superb drummer and a talented composer - a sad loss indeed.
