Malcolm McLaren Dies of Cancer aged 64

 

Former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, described by many as the architect of British punk, died today after losing his battle against cancer.

 

The 64-year-old passed away at home in New York this morning after his condition suddenly worsened, spokesman Les Molloy said. Family members were in “shock” and “devastated”, he added.

 

“He had been doing very well, it’s a sad day. I have spoken to his partner," Mr Molloy added.

 

Music journalist Jon Savage, who wrote England’s Dreaming, the award-winning history of the Sex Pistols and punk, said: “Without Malcolm McLaren there would not have been any British punk.

 

Mr Savage said McLaren had an enormous influence on British culture through the King’s Road shop he opened with Vivienne Westwood and also through the Sex Pistols.

 

“I hope he’ll be remembered with fondness,” he said. “He was a complex character, a contradictory character. He could be very charming, he could be very cruel, but he mattered and he put something together that was extraordinary.

 

“What he did with fashion and music was extraordinary. He was a revolutionary.”

 

So devastated. He's a punk rock legend. RIP! :(
