That's sad - he used to date a lovely girl in my village. Factory certainly a pivotal record label.

Sad news indeed. He was a pioneer with the Hacienda and the Factory label set the standard for independent labels. He was a good person and could always laugh at himself, a strength sadly lacking in many. RIP Tony.
Will have to re watch 24hr Party People.

The guy was a legend if somewhat niave; none of the bands were contracted for example and as for the Hacienda; apart from very few nights it always lost buckets of money. He was undoubtedly an original thinker and a real innovator though up there on the John Peel level if you like.

The world is a lesser place without the man.

As he once said "Some people make money, others make history"

How ironic that the likes of Shaun Ryder were paying for his drugs recently. Cancer drugs, like, cos the NHS wouldn't pay for them.
