that’s a shame. i read some book about him a few years back (which was actually mostly about new order and the hacienda) and he seemed like a nice chap. a bit of an unprofessional businessman but a bloke who was really only doing it for the music he liked.
i still stand by my opinion though that the happy mondays were, and will always continue to be, shit.
he was a legend though. my respect goes out to his family and friends.

Saw Happy Mondays when they supported Oasis @ Wembley Stadium in 2000 - they were entertaining enough but Doves were better on the day.

Kill_Hill, most of that film was made up on the spot. Okay, there were some parts that were true, like the Happy Mondays getting off their faces than record an album (with no vocals), but some of the facts were twisted.
