Bill Fay, Cult Folk Musician, Dies at 81
Bill Fay, the British cult folk singer-songwriter, has passed away at the age of 81.
On Saturday (Feb. 23), Fay’s label Dead Oceans confirmed his death in a statement on Instagram, noting that the musician “peacefully” passed away that morning in London. Producer Jim O’Rourke soon discovered Fay’s music and played it for Jeff Tweedy during the recording sessions for Wilco’s 2002 album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. “Our hope is to find a way to finish and release it, but for now, we remember Bill’s legacy as the “man in the corner of the room at the piano”, who quietly wrote heartfelt songs that touched and connected with people around the world.”
