Karl Wallinger, the frontman of World Party who earlier played with The Waterboys, died Sunday, March 10 at 66. No cause or location was given by his publicist in the confirmation.

Born Karl Edmond de Vere Wallinger, he began his musical career in various bands as a keyboard player, then took a job in music publishing, which was followed by a brief stint as the musical director of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
