Wasn't into Broadcast much myself, apart from a few tracks here and there, but very very sad indeed to learn of her death.

a shock,just got to see Broadcast on 10th December 2010.She looked pretty disinterested on stage but still played their allocated time-maybe she was already sick and didn't realise.

That's pretty shocking to hear. Pneumonia? Sad. I have one of their albums, pretty good stuff.
