Was reluctant to post this, as there doesn't seem to be any official announcement.
However, with the family weighing in with condolences, it appears to be the sad truth.

Very sad to hear this. "It's My Life," "Such a Shame" and "Life's What You Make It" are three of my most favorite songs from the '80s. Thank you for them (and many more), Mark; RIP.

"Talk Talk" (1982) by Talk Talk was Long Island's introduction to the band as heard on WLIR. RIP

I have long been a big fan, so this is really too bad. R.I.P.

A great musician who defied the record industry in the late 80s with a brilliant album that mixed Avant Garde with Free-Form Jazz.

They had a few hits here in the States and many more on MTV and I was a fan.

R.I.P.

"It's My Life" was a hit twice, first with Talk Talk and later with No Doubt's cover. RIP
