Massive Attack Guitarist Angelo Bruschini Dies After Lung Cancer Diagnosis

A statement from the band called him a “singularly brilliant & eccentric talent.”

Massive Attack guitarist Angelo Bruschini has died, the band confirmed in a statement Tuesday. “A singularly brilliant & eccentric talent,” a post on Massive Attack’s X account read. “Impossible to quantify your contribution to the Massive Attack canon. How lucky we were to share such a life together.” On Facebook, Brushini’s wife said he died on Monday at around 12.15 a.m. “from a rare and aggressive cancer.” In a post of his own in July, the British musician said he’d twice been wished “Good luck” by specialists “at the hospital over lung cancer.” He went on to add: “Had a great life, seen the world many many times, met lots of wonderful people, but the door is closing, think I will write a book.”
