The Stranglers keyboard player, Dave Greenfield, has died after testing positive for Coronavirus.
He died after having contracted the virus after he spent a prolonged period of time in hospital for heart problems.
He penned one of the punk band’s biggest commercial hits, Golden Brown, a song about heroin, which went to No.2 in the UK charts in 1982.
The Stranglers bass player Jean-Jacque “JJ” Burnel paid tribute to his colleague by calling him “a musical genius”.
He was 71.
