It says that his cousin Andrew is in the hospital of liver failure and will most likely pass away in a few hours time. That comment was left a week ago.
It would go to say that he has passed away. :(
So sad to hear the news. Andy Hughes was an amazing talent. I really feel for LX, the Orb gang, and Andy's family.
I'll be listening to some mid-period Orb this evening in his honor. What fucking' lame ass news. Take care Andy.
:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

it's about Andy, not from him, but it looks like the poster managed to mess up posting the press release they wanted to, so there's no info there.
it may be confirmation of something that Ant Bryan and myself have been trying (and failing) to confirm/clarify for the last few days - which came via Kris and Simon Phillips.
suffice to say, it's very, very, bad news if this is what i think it is - the news was that Andy had passed away.
:-( i'm hoping against hope that this isn't true, and he's alive and well, but i guess we'll have to wait until that press release is posted properly before we know for sure - but the fact they want to post a press release that has been through a number of drafts hints that it's fairly major.
in the meantime, please don't spread this far and wide (ie. beyond this list) - Andy has kids and family to think of - until we can get any confirmation.
however, if anyone else (Gavin?) can follow up with any Orb contacts - please do.
thanks, with a heavy heart,
