David Rupert Edwards[1] (3 September 1964 – 20 June 2021) was a Welsh musician, singer and writer, best known as the lead singer of the Welsh language post-punk/experimental band Datblygu. NME said that "his contribution to the Welsh language can't be overestimated and his work with Datblygu serves as a focal point for its vibrant counter-culture".[2] Additionally, John Peel said that Edwards' lyrics made him want to learn Welsh.[3]
