Posted by Legendary UK producer Steve Brown has died.
The studio figure was 65 years old, and died after a short illness relating to a fall he had at his home in early December.
Steve Brown leaves behind a stories catalogue, having worked with Wham! to create their signature sound on singles such as ‘Young Guns (Go For It)’ and ‘Club Tropicana’.
Alongside this, he worked with artists such as The Alarm, ABC, Freddie Mercury and goth rock heroes The Cult on their immortal single ‘She Sells Sanctuary’.
Continuing to work far beyond this imperial phase, Steve Brown also produced valuable work with Manic Street Preachers.
The Cult commented: “He was hugely influential in The Cult’s evolution and shall forever be entwined in our DNA”.
Nicky Wire from Manic Street Preachers added that they “had so much fun working with Steve. He taught us so much”.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
