Nick Cave pays tribute to The Pop Group’s Mark Stewart
Nick Cave has paid tribute to The Pop Group‘s frontman Mark Stewart.The pop-punk pioneer’s passing was announced on April 21, with The Pop Group honouring the 62-year-old icon by saying: “Mark is in Communion with Love. As Sufis say; there is no such thing as death, no one is going to die, but since death is so valuable, it has been hidden in the safe of fears.”Following his passing, Bad Seeds frontman Cave took to his Red Hand Files newsletter to share the impact that Stewart and The Pop Group have had on his career when he first moved to the UK with his early band The Birthday Party.“When The Birthday Party moved from Australia to the UK in 1989, it was partly because of The Pop Group,” he shared.
