Andy Ross Dies at 66: Tributes Pour In for Label Boss Who Signed Blur and Jesus Jones
LONDON – Tributes have been paid to British music executive Andy Ross, a key figure in the 1990s U.K. music scene, who has died at the age of 66.

It’s structured in four parts that examine Gillespie’s working-class upbringing in Glasgow, the early days of Primal Scream, the “Second Summer of Love”, and the lasting legacy of his band. Meanwhile, Sergeant’s memoir is titled Bunnyman: Post-War Kid to Post-Pun...
