While no official confirmation has yet been released, the news has been reported via several media outlets and sources close to Hollis. Many are also already paying tribute to the influential musician on social media including the musician’s cousin, Anthony Costello, his former band mate, Paul Webb and Tim Pope, who directed Talk Talk’s music videos.
The lead singer and primary songwriter of Talk Talk, Hollis co-founded the band in 1981 alongside Lee Harris and Webb. They had early synth-pop success with singles ‘Talk Talk’, ‘It’s My Life’ and ‘Such a Shame’ together with several critically-acclaimed albums, including ‘Spirit of Eden’ and ‘Laughing Stock.’

There isn't an official word yet, but Mark never had any social media accounts and lived a private life after his retirement. Posts from Paul Webb (bassist for Talk Talk, above), Graham Sutton (frontman for Bark Psychosis), and Mark's cousin, among others, may be the most concrete confirmation there'll be.

Heartbreaking news, either way. The beautiful music he made was so uniquely his own style and spawned a whole new genre in the process. His legacy will last a very long time.
