Phil May obituary
« on: Sat 23 May 2020 03:12:49 »


Phil May (Philip Dennis Arthur Kattner), singer and songwriter, born 9 November 1944; died 15 May 2020
 
As the singer and chief songwriter of the Pretty Things, Phil May, who has died aged 75 from complications following hip surgery after a cycling accident, achieved a status in pop history out of all proportion to his group’s record sales. The Pretty Things were outlandish and endlessly inventive, and inspired any number of punk, indie and glam-rock bands.
