This came as a great shock as I never even knew he was ill.
Been battling lung cancer since March and lost that battle yesterday, he was only 59 (I think).
Not a well known name, but you will have heard his guitar work on the Massive Attack single Angel. Angelo is all over their amazing 1998 album Mezzanine and was part of their live band.
But more than that, and personally to me, he was a guitarist in Bristol band The Blue Aeroplanes in the 90s, defining the sound of their best two albums, Swagger and Beatsongs.
This is Colour Me from the latter, Angelo's guitar solo is so awesome it gets its own introduction:
Beatsongs and Mezzanine are going on tonight as a tribute.
RIP
