Devastating news. What a great man. My sincere condolences to those who knew him.

Just awful. One of my heroes.

RIP Steve.

Gutted, we love you Steve.

I’m speechless. Truly one of my heroes.

RIP.

Woah. Words really fail here. A gutting feeling.

A major loss, but FM Steve has left behind such a formidable, variegated body of work, and a lot of allies and admirers, so above all we know his was a life well lived and should be lauded as such. Lots of recordings and memories to revisit, including things that took place on this forum (ultimately-fun arguments and head-butting, counter-trolling, witty jokes and banter). Damn.

My heart goes out to each and every one of you grieving now . . . fans and loved ones, those who knew him well, and worked with him over the years. There'll never be another.

Requescat en pace, Steve Albini.

Speechless and stunned. A hero to many. RIP FM Steve. You will be sorely missed.

fucking hell. a literal life-changer for me and for so many of us here. endless respect.

RIP Steve

A cornerstone of my cultural life for so, so long. Much love to all who loved him.

Just saw this on IG and came right here to confirm. Absolutely terrible news. I’m so sorry to all of you who are closest to him. This world was better with Steve in it. RIP, legend.

Fuck. His very existence gave me hope and faith in human beings.

Kind of fitting that I found out about it here.
