Remembering Dave Ball of Softcell today.

A tribute to David James Ball (3rd May 1959 - 22nd October 2025)

Electronic music pioneer Dave Ball, one half of groundbreaking electronic music duo Soft Cell and successful acid house act The Grid, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his London home on Wednesday 22nd October. He was 66. Singer Marc Almond, Dave's musical collaborator of 46 years and Soft Cell bandmate, leads the tributes, describing Dave as a "wonderfully brilliant musical genius". What turns out to be Dave’s final appearance with the band came only weeks ago at the Rewind Festival in Henley-on-Thames, where Soft Cell headlined in front of over 20,000 fans.
