Folks,
it has come to my attention that Wesley Willis has died.
a freind sent me this article:
Dear Friends and fellow Wesleynauts,
We are deeply saddened to report that one of our
artists, Wesley Willis passed away yesterday,
Thursday, August 21st. Wesley will be greatly
missed by all that had the privilege to know him,
as well as the fans who have been fortunate
enough to experience his genius.
Wesley was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous
Leukemia (CML) at the end of 2002, and had to
undergo emergency surgery on June 2nd to identify
the source of, and to suppress internal bleeding.
It is not clear if this bleeding was related to
his leukemia or not, and the exact cause of death
is still unknown. Wesley had been recovering at a
Hospice in Illinois, and since the surgery his
health had deteriorated rapidly.
His songs were simultaneously disturbing,
hilarious, blunt, and intoxicating. Wesley's
sheer excitement and unaffected honesty about
every cultural phenomenon, defined his music as
truly individual, and truly punk rock.
Wesley released well over 50 albums - 3 of which
are on Alternative Tentacles, and a 4th,
entitled, Wesley Willis Greatest Hits Vol. 3 (CD)
had already been scheduled for release in October
of this year.

Leukemia, please visit http://leukemia-

Currently there are no plans for any funeral
service but we will inform you if there will be.
