New Facts Emerge: The truth about Mark E. Smith and The Fall (last few years of his life, recent events & beyond) + music industry ethics AMA
Evening all. Pam here. Pamela Vander. Pam Van Damn. Pammie V. Nickie. And so on.
Here to answer any questions that people may have about Mark E. Smith & The Fall in the last few years of Mark’s life. I was Mark’s fiancé and cared for Mark to the absolute best of my abilities when he was ill and was there from his first cancer diagnosis til his last breath. I was also managing The Fall (alongside Mark) and helping in a lot of other ways too, which means I have a lot of information on the in’s and out’s of Marks life and what was going on with the group. Information no-one else has.
We had a lot of fun together. And we achieved a lot together even though our time together was cut short. This also goes for the lads in the final line up (Keiron, Dave, Pete) who Mark adored, we did it all together. I also did all of the artwork for the REAL & ONLY LAST FALL ALBUM, New Facts Emerge…
I have a lot to say as I kept our unique life & stories quiet/to myself for years as I constantly try to navigate my life without Mark… until recent events woke me from my depressed slumber. If I hate anything at all, it’s corruption and lies. So hopefully some of that can be covered tonight. I’m also up for any other questions if yr curious about something (I own a lot of the things Mark left behind/last tapes/some of his favourite things like record collection etc) and just any general questions people may have be it current situation or beyond… I’ve gone back into the vaults of my memory and had to think about things I had buried for a long time, but I’m coping well with it all. So let’s do this…
EDIT: Just want to add quickly as it didn’t come up but I was also on Mark’s will (under my real name, which the press got wrong and said it was some random ‘neighbour’ uh no, that was me, press are idiots honestly) so I wanted to clear that one up as well. As before this thread on something I did state this but I wanted to say it on this thread also. But I just want to make clear that if it was up to me, the Post-Script Shitshow would never, ever have happened or been approved at all. They would not be using The Fall name, at all, ever. Anyway, that’s all🖤🦇
