Sad news List. Please read on. At 10:50 GMT. The artist known as Muslimgauze died. His real name was Bryn Jones. Born and bred in Manchester. He was an artist of the highest order. Bryn contracted a rare blood fungus which ravaged through his system..thus deflatng his immune system..which eventually led to Pnemonia, He was being kept at Royal Northen Hospital in Manchester, where after being admitted was transfered from Hope hospital over to Intensive care. His condition was that he did not respond to treatment... and the anti-fungai agent which would counter-act the fungai did not grow quick enough. The kidney machine which was stabalizing Bryn, had to be swithced off, and from there...he worsend. Amongst the many acheivements. Muslimgauze was by far the most known, and appreciated.
