R.I.P. – Arthur Lee

August 4th, 2006

Arthur Lee has passed away.

We are sad to report that according to very reliable sources, Arthur Lee – the legendary and controversial frontman of the band Love – passed away in the hospital yesterday afternoon with his wife Diane by his side. He was 61, and died of complications resulting from leukemia. Arthur Lee was the vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and difficult genius behind the San Francisco rock group Love, whose 1967 album Forever Changes is regarded by many (including David Tibet of Current 93, as well as British Parliament) as the one of best albums of all time.
