Such a gentle soul, with one of the most unique voices in music. It's so unfair he's no longer with us. Mark, may you be forever surrounded by the colours of spring. Sleep well, lovely man.

Kept from the public eye as much as he could. Never bought into the fame game. Made some of the best music ever produced. So underrated.

Rest in peace, a true visionary

As we can see in this interview, Mark was so sensitive and full of emotions and we hear that in his music. RIP Mark Hollis.

Mark Hollis hat es geschafft. Gott hatte seine Entlassung Papiere bereits im Februar 2019 unterzeichnet. Ich danke dem Herrn. Mark Hollis hatte mit seiner zärtlichen Musik meine Jugend geprägt. GOTT SCHÜTZE IHN!

Mark, hiding his mouth behind his hand in shyness... So cute... Thank you for those musical jewels and your beautiful unique voice, Mark. May you rest in peace.

His voice is a very rare thing. Full of emotion

To those who say he is both underrated and under appreciated, Mr Hollis is only underrated by those who don’t appreciate both the history and progression of modern music. A multitude of Mr Hollis’s contemporary artists, as well as those who came after him, not only quote him as an inspiration but also the albums of Talk Talk as seminal recordings. Talk Talk and Mark are yet another example of just because the later album received less (no) radio time and didn’t chart highly, doesn’t mean they were ignored by genuine music lovers and critics alike. All the albums stand the test of time and Mark’s voice transcends generations and fills first time listeners with as much joy, sadness and celebration as those of us who grew up with him. RIP MH and thank you for your contribution to the music landscape and those you influenced.

He truly has one of the prettiest smiles ever

RIP dear Mark. You were a great person that made the world a better place to listen to :)

Why have I only just found out about this great man and learnt, tonight, that he died last year?? How sad, He seemed really genuine. Talk Talk were a great band

The way he talks, the way he seems to be staring at something off in the distance. The fact that he speaks in long bursts. He appears as someone who was extremely creative and passionate about his work and this devotion is reflected in his music.

From the age of 14 to now at 50 years of age Talk Talk / Mark Hollis has been a part of my life. Thank you Mark Hollis for creating music that grew with me.....i will miss ya !!! A fan from Texas!

One of the greatest voices ever recorded So full of color and emotion. thanks god for this guy

Underrated Genius

One of the best bands of all time

Невероятный исполнитель. Неразгаданный человек. Царствие Небесное.

Mark Hollis est l'anti-star parfaite. Il laisse une œuvre sophistiquée et surtout un témoignage de vie remarquable de profondeur. C'est un homme libre et un authentique artiste. Cher Mark entre dans la joie éternelle à présent! Et 1000 mercis pour tout ce que tu nous as donné... un fan très reconnaissant.

Talk Talk very underrated British Band.Legends.

What an absolutely amazing unique man. Lovely to listen to him talk as well as sing. Unparalleled genius.

Mark had a lot going on inside, I'm glad he shared some of it with us.

Mark Hollis......a total class act.

Listening to him in interviews and reading some and then knowing his music fairly well it's an understatement to say that Mark Hollis was a sensitive soul.

wonderful, unforgettable, irreplaceable MARK ... 😥💔💔

I loved his songs, his voice, his apperence and -first of all- his cap which he wearde in the video to "Such a Shame". Rest in peace Mark!

Il fatto è che quando ascolti delle belle canzoni dopo un po' cominciano a starti strette ,come se dal piacere passasse al fastidio. Ecco, questo nei TALK TALK e in Mark Hollis non c'è. I loro brani sono talmente originali che non stancano. Mai banali mai scontati. Pochi gruppi soprattutto negli anni 80 erano in grado di suonare e cantare dal vivo in maniera straordinaria come loro. Hollis, la sua intonazione era perfetta. E'morto un grande della musica secondo me. Ora chissà, continuerà a cantare da lassù.... RIP MARK ❤️

An unforgettable voice no one can match. Unique! RIP Beautiful Man

I will continue to grow older loving, wanting, craving more Talk Talk. Sometimes music can get into your head and NEVER leave.

So sad he is gone. I will miss his creativity. I didn't actually know the man but he gave me more heartfelt moments than most people in my life.

He seemed so lovely... wish I could've met him in person or at least seen him. What a creative

Most underrated band ever. RIP Mark Hollis.

I am very saddened by the passing of Mark Hollis - And although he departed music biz some 20 years ago, the loss out of the earthly life is what hurts- I am so grateful for his work and i found comfort and approval through all of the TALK TALK albums - I posses all and not one album was bad - They all had their own character - Mark taught me how to listen to music in a very different and special way and how to absorb the emotion in it ... We have lost a great one and his legacy will live on in my heart.

Che eleganza , elegante anche nel cantare. Ciao Mark ti voglio bene

Such a sweet smile 😁

R.I.P. Mark, incredible Genius

His eyes so clever and deep, and when he talks his voice so soft i can listen without stop

Talk talk say no more X 👍 what a brilliant band r.i.p. Mark Hollis 😢 your music will live on forever 💝🌹

Love this man. Miss him so much. Beautiful person. Beautiful voice. A genius. 😪❤💔💋💋💋💋

Such an emotional, creative guy. An absolute gem.

I did not really pay that much attention to Talk Talk in the 80's. now that I m 62, I accidentally rediscovered them and this music is incredible, on so many levels.

Dude got a smile just as beautiful as his music.

Goodbye, dear Mark, and thanks for your music. Love from North Italy

Rest In Peace dear man. Thank you for your music.

Such a cheeky smile. Amazing talented band.

The first single I bought with my salary was Talk Talk- Talk Talk, and I never looked back. Their chemistry and artistry is absolutely prolific. A band loaded with class, expression, freedom, musicality and some of the much unforgettable catch phrases ever: "A little earlier it was a game, I'm so disposable you can throw me away." Mark is different class!

Danke - Mark Hollis - für die schönen Songs .👍❤️wir werden dich nie vergessen🌹

I've seen Talk Talk live 3 times in the 80's. I was blown away by the music, and Mark's soft and warm voice. Nowadays i still am a great fan, and often listens to their music. You surely will be missed Mark.

There’s a certain amount of satisfaction and remorse that people are just now discovering Talk Talk but I’m very happy that they have. Mark Hollis will live forever in my heart and my vinyl…

Legend a gent and a very smart guy who didnt dance to the journalists tune he made them dance to his god mark how i miss you much love and respect heaven bless you

Dude solved music. The world lost an all time great

Top man. A north London lad with a fine mind. R.I.P.

He is absolutely beautiful in every way . Rest In Peace Mark .

Pretty much the perfect band. Perfect vocals and lyrics and everything. Spot on.

He is a GENIUS OF MUSIC!!!!!!!

Brilliantly authentic, super intelligent and super talented.

I loves Talk Talk and Mark from the first time I heard them. he was a genius. Passed to soonXX

Me encanta su tema is my life...lo escuche desde la infancia...jose de paraguay

Love talk talk. Mark Hollis legend! Totally different from anything out the 80s mega talent he knows it and so does any other Talk Talk fan. RIP Mark Hollis.

I am still in shock about Mark Hollis passing away so suddenly. RIP. Mark. May Jesus bless your soul. Thank you for such amazing music

your music always hits me in the heart. For years I hoped to hear something from you again. unfortunately in vain. pity so much talent and so little published. thanks for the timeless wonderful music. rest in peace mark. I miss you.

love this man and his incredible music! R.I.P Mark Hollis, I feel like I have been kicked in the teeth after hearing he has passed away so young!

Es imposible no amarlo. Mark no puede ocultar su timidez, su calidez y su innegable calidad artística. Sus gestos tan emocionales, su mirada apasionada, profunda y calma al mismo tiempo. Su inefable voz. Su sencillez. Pura paz. Es un ser humano carismático y absolutamente adorable 🌻🌼👏✨

One of the best vocalists and writers that blest us with such amazing music, that voice was so bloody amazing, rip Mark, you were a genius greatly missed by millions ❤

Soundtrack of my life & will continue to be. RIP Mark Hollis

Proper gentle London boy, rip mark. Thank you for the music.

colour of spring one of the greatest albums of all time .

Absolute legend huge talent with the vocal of a fragile angel who's songs of haunting melancholy and naturalistic beauty will live forever

A sensitive beautyful man

I first saw them in their early days supporting Genesis - the reunion gig with Peter Gabriel at Milton Keynes Bowl in 1982. One of the few new bands on the scene back then who could actually cut it live. Well obviously they could or they wouldn't be playing with Genesis. They were really good and I bought all their records from that point onwards. Spirit Of Eden was exceptional and thirty years later still sounds like it was recorded yesterday. I'm most saddened by Mark's death.

R.I.P MARK HOLLIS (1955-2019) THE LEGEND

Какая красивая улыбка с ума сойти!❤️

Thank you for posting such a great piece of music history. Mark deserves all the recognition in the world for the amazing music he created. He was a true genius, an artist in all the extension of the word. His lyrics, his haunting voice, his music, are forever in my heart, I feel such a huge lost with his departure, but I am grateful i've been listening to Talk Talk almost all my life. Thank you Mark, you made the world a better place with your music.

Mark was truly a genius and legend. you can tell just from this interview of how his mind thinks and works and then you hear him speak and you know this guy knew music up, down, left and right. RIP Mark Hollis😢

Charming smile.

Rest in peace my friend. Your music has brought joy into my life. A great artist.

I'll always love you Mark....Thanks for any emotion you gave me....

Today would've been Mark's 67th birthday. You were one of the best. Wish you were here ❤️ from Poland.

A musical genius. RIP!

I think he was a very special person, the way he composed, the tone of his voice transported to other states, he sang with his eyes closed and felt every word, he was shy but with a great inner world that emerged through his compositions, He was self-taught but he surpassed himself over and over again, he never stopped experimenting and evolving, he never wanted to repeat a winning formula, he wanted to sing but he didn't want fame, he hated being the focus of attention and many unpleasant things that still happen today in the music industry, which ended up making him decide to retire. He wanted to make timeless music that would last over time and he more than succeeded, he was humble, he had his feet on the ground and had great sensitivity. In his short career he managed to evolve musically and personally much more than others will not achieve in a lifetime. I think that he was never really aware of everything he did and also of the great influence that he has been for many other current bands. He was not valued in his time, but today I think he enjoys the recognition he deserves, both from many of his musical peers, as well as from people who value his creativity, sensitivity and talent, as well as from new young generations who have known him in the present. He is no longer with us but fortunately, his music, his talent, his charm and these images are still here forever. Personally, his music and his voice accompany me permanently and his life is an example, although as every person had lights and shadows, I rescue, never stop being yourself, find your own path, evolve in whatever you do, have your clear priorities, be a good person, do what you love and enjoy your art for yourself.

Ciao Mark. Ci mancherai tantissimo, grandissimo genio.Ti ho sempre adorato.

Aw he was ever so cute. Legend rip 😔

This band should have been a lot bigger than they were - so underated.

I play Spirit of Eden every single day. It never ceases to amaze and touch me. It IS the spirit of Eden indeed. Thank you Mark Hollis, may you rest in peace.

This is a guy (genius btw) who cares so much about his product, it shows too ..... brilliant !

Mark Hollis you were a legend. Thank you for your fabulous & timeless music. RiP.

Ce sourire, tellement touchant.

They made some truly brilliant music.

I saw you live in Staargebouw in Maastricht in the eightees. Thank you for you unforgettable beautiful voice, Mark ! Rest in Peace !

I haveta say. This was the first time I heard Mark speak about music! He was very persisted and articulate about his music, what a brilliant song writer he was..... You will be missed!

He also has that Comic Con fandom style within him very Genius 😎✌🏾🪐🌌❤️💃🎧🎶✊🏾

I’m still lost for words, this mans music has helped me through the hard times in my life and for that I am eternally grateful, a true genius RIP

TalkTalk song it's My Life was THE heart and soul of the '80s. If you have the time look at some of the live videos of this song, he sings it perfectly every time, a true perfectionist. Using studio musicians in addition to the original three, gives it that huge depth of sound. This was a one of the kind band, many have tried to copy, but none have duplicated.

I love this interview and fancy him more every time. He's so gentle 😘

This is a huge loss. Godspeed Mark-thank you for everything you did.
