MICK KARN has passed away

El 4 de Enero de 2011 sera un dia triste para la musica. Mick Karn, el  bajista del legendario grupo JAPAN  ha fallecido.

Mick murio a causa del terrible cancer que padecia en su casa de Chesea rodeado de su familia(tenia esposa y un hijo) e amigos. Mick tenia 52 años

Su carrera musical comenzo a principios de los años 70 en inglaterra en a mitica banda JAPAN junto a David Sylvian y Richard Bavieri entre otros. Su estilo estaba  influenciado principalmente por el Punk,Glam y especial por TecknoPop y el New Wave caracteristico de la epoca. Pero pronto el estilo unico y atipico de Mick,doto a Japan de un sonido unico y propio incluso el propio Peter Townshed le califico como el mejor bajista de Inglaterra.

Tras la separacion de JAPAN, Mick Karn formo junto a Peter Murphy  parte de Cali´s Car. Por no hablar de las colaboraciones  con artistas de la talla de Bryan May,Phil Collins , Gary Numan,Ryuichi Sakamoto y en especial la de nuestro querido SUGIZO.

Mick Karn siempre sera recordado por su elegente y  excepcional forma de tocar el bajo.

Por ultimo, mis mas sentido pensame para la familia, amigos y a os fans. Y un gran abrazo para sugizo que sentia adoracion por su amigo Mick Karn.

REST IN PEACE &  FLY AWAY .
