Anthony H. Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records, has died of a heart attack yesterday (August 10th) at the age of 57. Wilson is best known for signing legendary bands including Joy Division and New Order to his label, and as owner of the Hacienda nightclub in Manchester. He played a key role in the Madchester scene of the late 1980's and early 1990's, signing the Happy Mondays.
Thanks for Joy Division, the "Factory" , the music. RIP Tony!
