Steve Diggle talks Pete Shelley, Buzzcocks and more in new video interview


Buzzcocks will perform in London on June 21st to pay tribute to Pete Shelley. A Celebration Of The Life Of Pete Shelley will feature current and original/ex-members of Buzzcocks along with guest vocalists which will be announced in the coming weeks. The event takes place at Royal Albert Hall and will include support from Skids and Penetration.

Meanwhile, Steve Diggle from Buzzcocks discusses Pete Shelley, Buzzcocks, and his life as a musician in a new interview with John Robb of Louder Than War. The almost hour-long video interview is Diggle's first major interview since Shelley's death in December. Diggle called Shelley's tragic death a "massive loss" and said though he and his fallen bandmate were "polar opposites" they complemented each other and were "different sides of the same character."
