The Clash founding member Keith Levene dies aged 65 as fans pay tribute to star
The Clash founding member Keith Levene has passed away aged 65.
The news was confirmed by his friend, author Adam Hammond, who wrote on Twitter : 'It is with great sadness I report that my close friend and legendary Public Image Limited guitarist Keith Levene passed away on Friday 11th November.
'There is no doubt that Keith was one of the most innovative, audacious and influential guitarists of all time.
'Keith sought to create a new paradigm in music and with willing collaborators John Lydon and Jah Wobble succeeded in doing just that.
His guitar work over the nine minutes of Theme, the first track on the first PiL album, defined what alternative music should be.
'As well as helping to make PiL the most important band of the age, Keith also founded The Clash with Mick Jones and had a major influence on their early sound.
'So much of what we listen to today owes much to Keith's work, some of it acknowledged, most of it not.
'Our thoughts and love go out to his partner Kate, sister Jill and all of Keith's family and friends.
'The world is a darker place without his genius. Mine will be darker without my mate.'
A cause of death was not confirmed by Adam.
