NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Keith Levene, a guitarist with Public Image Ltd and The Clash, has died at the age of 65 as tributes poured in from friends and fans.
News of his death was confirmed by author and writer Adam Hammond, who tweeted: ‘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.
