He was 74 and had been diagnosed with cancer and little hope of recovery in 2014! A truly special singer, always up for spontaneously joining pretty much every musician who wanted to play with him (and making all their music his). I have seen him live at least 5 times in various combinations (once in the 1990s singing Mother Sky with Michael Karoli's band); there are not many musicians I've seen more often than him. Another giant of Kraut rock has left us.

Oh thats awfully sad news
like Wilco Johnson, his cancer was expected to take him much sooner but his sheer spirit and love of music and life kept him with us for longer and how lucky we were. A real genius and lovely human being. Thank you Damo and RIP.

I've been dreading this day since I heard his diagnosis. I'm indisposed and not taking any calls.

Hi,
No one in rock music personified "krautrock", or even "progressive music" than Damo. This is a sad day, and we know that he had survived many battles and was still around to let us hear him one more time. The positive atmosphere, carried him as far as possible, but in the end, the body could not sustain the energy anymore. Lots of love and care to Elke, who helped so much to make him live through some really bad times, and the rest of the family. I kinda think that this is the end of "krautrock", in some ways ... the artists that made it come alive, are just about all gone, and all we have left of them ... is a huge amount of memories in their music ... such a gift ... such love ... RIP and know that the pains are gone, except the ones we will feel for not having you around ... |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Fuсk no!! That just fuсking hurt. I would normally add in a crying face emoticon. But Damo's death hit me much deeper. I literally shed real life fuсking tears right now.

On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.

I don't know what to say. Damo's voice always spoke (and speaks) directly to me. Regardless of the words that came out of his mouth or how the came out. It's a connection I don't feel very often and It's a beautiful thing when it happens. I'll let Miles Davis do the talking for me in both the title* - and of course in music: *Originally for The Duke.

What a sad news ... we Japanese have lost two big ones in succession. Damo Suzuki and Seiji Ozawa.

Since reading the news Saturday, been spinning a lot of CAN........Sad that we lost him but still so very glad I have many records of his recordings that will give me joy for years to come.
As I've said before "CAN rules, all others SUCK!!!" RIP Damo!
