Gill passed away last February following a respiratory illness. He was 64 years old.
Announcing ‘The Problem of Leisure…’ last month, his widow Catherine Mayer explained that her late husband had planned to share the album to mark the 40th anniversary of ‘Entertainment!’ (released in 1979).
“Even in hospital, he wanted to keep working on the project that had excited him for more than two years – and he did, right up until five days before he died,” Mayer said, adding that it was “bittersweet” to announce the LP after his death.
