Liam Maher, the frontman of late 80's/early 90's band Flowered Up has died aged 41. The cause of death has not yet been released. A much mooted come-back failed to come to fruition in 2007, however there were still rumours concerning them reforming fairly recently.

I met Liam on a few occasions as I was friendly with the uncle & cousins of bass player Andy Jackson and he was a really nice bloke. They were one of my favourite bands of the era and had their own anarchic style.

Rest In Peace Liam.
