Aw fuck. Right up there for me. Only saw Television once in 2001 when I was 18, kept missing them each time after that.

This one is personal.

The player who helped me realise "edge of breakup" was the sound I liked the most -  in a band that helped me decide that "lead" and/or "rhythm" guitar wasn't for me. So pleased I got to see him - when Television reformed, they made a fine third album  and came to the UK.

Shocker! RIPTV

Very sad, I got into Tom Verlaine and Television via Patti Smith and he altered my idea of what a rhythm guitar could be in a band. RIP.

1977, I read Nick Kent's review of Marquee Moon in NME and on the strength of that went out and bought the album. Absolutely wonderful - one of the defining records of the late 70s. Very sorry to see this news.

Just seen the news, should be more of a fuss but there won't be. A real game changer and influence for loads of others. RIP Tom, still one of my fave vinyl LPs.
