The Durutti Column’s Vini Reilly suffers ‘minor stroke,’ is ‘well on the road to recovery’ - slicing up eyeballs

Vini Reilly, best known for his guitar work on Morrissey's debut album Viva Hate and accompanying b-sides, suffered a 'minor' stroke a few days ago. The Mancunian songwriter, who is the leader behind UK act Durutti Column, is said to be on the road to recovery and is scheduled to record a new album in the upcoming weeks.

  • I gasped when I first read the headline. Thank goodness it seems he'll be ok.

    Very strange, I was listening to his work all weekend, and hadn't for maybe a year before then.

  • Get well soon mate.

    Always wanted to hear a proper collaboration between you and Morrissey after the success of Viva Hate. I'm sure a string of albums between you two would have taken us on a much different adventure throughout the '90s.

  • Am I the only one who loves Vini's guitar playing and Morrissey's lyrics on "I Don't Mind If You Forget Me." I wonder why he's never played it live in concert. Anyway, I hope Vini is feeling better, love his work.

  • A remastered and expanded reissue of the Durutti Column's 1989 album, "Vini Reilly," is scheduled for release later this year.

    Keir Stewart is doing the remastering. He doesn't play around with the loudness and compression argument which has plagued 99% of remasters these days, so this reissue is going to be good. I also recommend picking up TDC's Four Factory Records box set which was released last year via Kooky Records.
