Micky Fitz, frontman of the Businees has passed way after a long battle with cancer.
From the Business facebook page...
As you may have already heard, Micky passed away yesterday morning after a long battle with cancer.
Micky was a man who spoke his mind - he was always quick with a joke and three steps ahead of you in a conversation. He was also one of the best mates you could ask for.
Everybody you speak to in the punk scene has their own Micky Fitz story, some of them more flattering than others as Mick didn’t pull any punches. He didn’t care what anybody thought of him and he always did things his own way. That is the thing about true characters - they have rough edges, they don’t fit into any box and they can be near impossible to deal with from time to time, but that’s what makes them so unique, it’s what makes them iconic, it’s what makes them special.
There will never be another Micky Fitz.
Our thoughts are with Mick’s family at this time, especially Kim and Jamie who have always been by his side through thick and thin.
Finally thank you to Micky, for being relentlessly Micky Fitz, much loved and much missed.
Micky has requested no flowers. If you would like to do something to remember him, please make a donation to Cancer Research in his name at http://www.justgiving.com/
