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."Get the latest celebrity gossip and telly news sent straight to your inbox.
