Former Talk Talk members to play tribute show for late vocalist Mark Hollis

Hollis passed away in February this year aged 64.

Although the group disbanded in 1991, former members Simon Brenner, Martin Ditcham, Rupert Black, Jeep Hook, and bassist John Mckenzie will reunite to perform Talk Talk songs for the first time since their 1986 tour.

Paul Webb, drummer Lee Harris and keyboardist Tim Friese-Greene won't be performing at the tribute event.

According to the press release, the remaining members will be joined by "a line-up of very special guests to be announced, all of whom have been touched by Talk Talk’s music and inspired by Hollis."

The tribute event will see performances of songs from their final two albums Spirit of Eden (1988) and Laughing Stock (1991), which have never been performed live.

Bengi Ünsal, Senior Contemporary Music Programmer of Southbank Centre, said, "We are honoured to be holding this beautiful event. Tom [Baker, Eat Your Own Ears] and I were talking about staging a celebration of Talk Talk even before Mark passed away. When he sadly died, it became inevitable for us, the fans, and for all the artists who adore the band to pay tribute to them and appreciate the indelible mark they left on music. This is a product of love and admiration - our way of saying thank you to Mark Hollis and Talk Talk."
