Massive Attack guitarist Angelo Bruschini has died.
The Bristol musician was previously diagnosed with lung cancer. In July on this year, he posted publicly on Facebook, writing, "Twice now I have been told 'good luck' by specialists at the hospital over lung cancer, I think I'm fucked! Had a great life, seen the world many many times, met lots of wonderful people, but the door is closing, think I will write a book."
Massive Attack posted a tribute to Bruschini on social media, writing, "A singularly brilliant & eccentric talent. Impossible to quantify your contribution to the Massive Attack canon. How lucky we were to share such a life together."
