Former Can singer Damo Suzuki succumbed to colon cancer yesterday. He was 74. He never trained as a vocalist and made things up on the spot, a master improviser who sounded like nobody else. After leaving Can, he gave up music for a decade, before returing as a performer. He started Damo Suzuki's Network, with himself as the sole constant member, playing for audiences who could appreciate his "without-a-net" approach.
From Can's Instagram:
It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our wonderful friend Damo Suzuki, yesterday, Friday 9th February 2024.
His boundless creative energy has touched so many over the whole world, not just with Can, but also with his all continent spanning Network Tour. Damo’s kind soul and cheeky smile will be forever missed.
He will be joining Michael, Jaki and Holger for a fantastic jam!
Lots of love to his family and children.
We will post funeral arrangements at a later date
