 Rest in Hell, I suppose. Turbonegro is one of those bands I've listened to for as long as I can remember.
---- My "blackened synth metal" solo project: maladomini.bandcamp.com. Whenever I write something funny, weird, or pretentious... I learned English by playing Baldur's Gate, okay?

One of the first concerts I attended was Turbonegro in Stockholm in the early 2000s. He was an awesome frontman, sad to see him go.
