2011 is already bringing in the loss of amazing musicians. January 4th brought the death of Gerry Rafferty, who`s death is dominating the music news now, but also the death of the undeerrated Mick Karn. If you grew up in the 80s and were a bit into the fringes of what was going on, you probably heard some of Karn`s music.
Karn`s musical career started with Japan in 1974, a stylish art rock/new wave band, who released several critically acclaimed albums, all full of dark, spacy and highly stylized new wave. After Japan broke up in 1982, Karn joined Bauhaus singer Peter Murphy to form Dali's Car and he also joined Gary Numan's band.
Karn was suffering from an undisclosed type of cancer at the time of his death. He was 52.
