Jan 28 2018 Grant Fell had been in hospice care after it was discovered his cancer had returned.
Kiwi musician Grant Fell has died, following a two-year battle with cancer.
Fell's friend Russell Brown was among those who tweeted their respects to the former Headless Chickens member.
"I'm sad to say that my old friend Grant Fell passed away this evening," Brown wrote.

"That man, with his great heart and his enterprise, changed my life more than once."
New Zealand rock band Headless Chickens formed in the 1980s and went on to star lead singer Fiona McDonald.
The band recorded three albums - Stunt Clown (1988), Body Blow (1991),
and Greedy (1997) - and won five New Zealand Music Awards.
Fell was diagnosed wth glioblastoma – a cancerous brain tumour – in
2015. In September 2017, his doctors told him the tumour had gone.
But Fell's wife and caregiver Rachael Churchward said he was admitted
to hospice on Monday after it was discovered the cancer had returned.
Churchward said he had been sedated for pain and seizures and had been in a peaceful condition.

Rest well, Grant Fell. Damn, I had fun jamming with you back in the day. Wish I'd told you then how much I loved and stole your bass style.

Vale Grant Fell. That’s sad news indeed. The Headless Chickens were a jaw dropping live experience to this teenager. ‘Stunt Clown’ is still one of the best albums to ever have come out of NZ.
