Throat cancer, too soon at just 69 years old. This is a big one.
From his wife Reg, also an incredible musician:
Glenn Branca passed away in his sleep last night from Throat Cancer.
I feel grateful to have been able to live and work with such an amazing source of ideas and creativity for the past 18 1/2 years. His musical output was a fraction of the ideas he had in a given day. His influence on the music world is incalculable.
Despite his gruff exterior, he was a deeply caring and fiercely loyal man. We lived in our own little world together. I love him so much. I’m absolutely devastated.
He lived a very full life and had no regrets. Thank you to all the fans and all of the musicians whose support made that possible.
As per his wishes, there will not be a formal memorial service.
My upcoming schedule will proceed as planned.
