Mr Ball also left a bequest of £25,000, free of all taxes, to his friend David Chambers. His estate was valued at £3,359,276 in total before deductions, with the difference of £842,791 accounted for by debts and other liabilities set against it. Mr Ball was the electronic musician and producer who performed as one half of the synth-pop duo with Marc Almond. Soft Cell is best known for songs including Tainted Love, Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, Torch and Bedsitter. He also co-founded the electronic/acid-house act The Grid, whose hits included Swamp Thing. Soft Cell played an exclusive audiovisual production in the Oxfordshire countryside on the grounds of Blenheim Palace. The performance was highly publicised as a 90-minute audiovisual spectacle and was notably the duo's only UK live appearance of 2024. They were supported on the night by fellow 1980s pop icons Heather Small and Heaven 17.
