Mark Hollis full name Mark David Hollis, was an English musician and singer-songwriter.

After the band disbanded in 1991, Hollis released his first and only solo album, also called Mark Hollis, in 1998. When asked about his decision not to tour anymore or maintain a public persona, he said: “I choose for my family.

Talk Talk’s bassist Paul Webb, aka Rustin Man, paid tribute to Hollis on both Facebook and Instagram. He wrote: “I am very shocked and saddened to hear the news of the passing of Mark Hollis. Musically he was a genius and it was a honour and a privilege to have been in a band with him. I have not seen Mark for many years, but like many musicians of our generation I have been profoundly influenced by his trailblazing musical ideas. He knew how to create depth of feeling with sound and space like no other. He was one of the greats, if not the greatest.”
