One of the most notable aspects of the career of the British musical group The Fall has been the number of musicians to have passed through the group since their formation in 1976. The group has just one constant, vocalist Mark E. Smith. Aside from him, there have been about 66 members over the band's 35-year existence, with about a third of the musicians lasting for less than a year. This article lists all formal members of the group, starting with the current line-up before looking at previous members in chronological order of their first appearance with the band. A number of guests and people with brief stays in the group are listed afterwards. ==Current group== Mark E. Smith — vocals, occasional keyboards, guitar, violin and other instruments *See ''Mark E.
