We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of CAN's Damo Suzuki. Damo was born in 1950 in Kobe, Japan, moving to Europe in the late 1960s where he was spotted busking in Munich, Germany, by Can bassist Holger Czukay and drummer Jaki Liebezeit. Can had just split with their vocalist Malcolm Mooney, and asked Suzuki to sing over tracks from their 1970 compilation album Soundtracks. Afterwards, he became their full time singer, appearing on the three hugely influential albums Tago Mago, Ege Bamyası and Future Days.
CAN's official facebook page shared the following tribute:
"It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our wonderful friend Damo Suzuki, yesterday, Friday 9th February 2024.
His boundless creative energy has touched so many over the whole world, not just with Can, but also with his all continents spanning Network Tour. Damo's kind soul and cheeky smile will be forever missed.
He will be joining Michael, Jaki and Holger for a fantastic jam!
Lots of love to his family and children."
