Tom Verlaine died January 8, 2023 from prostate cancer which had metastasized, he was 73. This hits home for me twice. For one Television was one of the 1st Punk Rock bands I got into. Along with The Ramones, Television was a little easier to get into than say Black Flag or The Meatmen. I was a fan from my 1st listen to all 4 of those bands but from introducing my friends to different bands I listen to Television was a little easier. My second reason is the fact that he died from prostate cancer that had spread. He died 18 days after my operation to have my prostate removed. I have no idea if he had an aggressive form or slow moving. By the press release he was "only ill a short time"....the only cancer that kills more men than lung cancer is prostate cancer. The number one killer in men is heart disease the number two is cancer...early detection is the only way to really catch it in time...we all know where I'm going with this guys, get checked.
I have included the obituary printed by BigO
