Comedian Soupy Sales Dies In New York Aged 83

Goodbye Mr S…

Sad to report the passing of the custard pie king, comedian Soupy Sales, who died on Thursday night at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx, New York. He had many health problems and entered the hospice last week.

Sales was 83 and is survived by his wife, Trudy, and two sons, Hunt and Tony, who will be familiar to you as the rhythm section of Tin Machine and Iggy Pop‘s 1977 band.

You can view the AP report of Soupy’s death here and while you’re on YouTube take a look at this low quality video of Tony and The Tigers being introduced by their father for their first TV appearance.

Our thoughts are with Hunt and Tony and their mother, and, along with David, we would like to pass on our condolences to them.
