Ah, shit. What a bummer.

Edit - that was meant to be ironic not facetious. That first album was part of my life in the Spring and Summer of 77

Very sad news, brilliant keyboardist. The Stranglers did a great set supporting Alice Cooper at The Brighton Centre last October.

My favourite band of all time and a brilliant musician.

A Brighton lad. Very sad news indeed.

Gutting news, RIP Dave Greenfield, a very unique music genius.

I was only reading about him online this weekend, and he recently made it into my NSC ideal band line-up.

Goosebumps every time for over 40 years:

I was a huge fan back in the day but lost touch as life moved on, though still listened to the old stuff up to Aural Sculpture. Mate convinced me to see them last year and they were superb. Got tickets for later this year but won't be the same without the keyboard maestro......

The first time I saw The Stranglers was in 1977. He was entrancing, and just a superb keyboard player. I saw them live many times, but never after Hugh Cornwell left - I always considered it, never went. Wish I had now.

RIP.

RIP Dave.

I saw The Stranglers a few times late 70s, Dave Greenfield, the best keyboard player I have seen live.
