Shock as Underground Lovers and Black Cab musician Richard Andrew dies 'suddenly' aged 58 - as friends rally around his widow


Respected Australian musician Richard Andrew has died after a short battle with lung cancer, aged 58.

Andrew, who was a fixture in the Melbourne music scene in such seminal Australian indie outfits as The Underground Lovers, Crow, and Black Cab, passed away in October, just days after announcing his illness to fans. The post went on to explain that aside from facing an uncertain financial future, Nicolette is also currently caring for an elderly dog with arthritis and a heart condition and other animals that were 'a cherished part of life with Richard.' 'After my last unsuccessful attempt to jump 17 double decker buses - A) this may go someway towards explaining being in a wheelchair and, B) the fact I'm getting married to the beautiful Nicolette Powell, in this photo,' Andrew began the expansive post.
