The members of Killing Joke have shared their tribute to late guitarist Kevin 'Geordie' Walker, who died on Sunday (November 26th), after suffering a stroke. Freeman Promotions sent over the following from the group:
Geordie was born in Chester le Street, Newcastle on December 18th, 1958, and began his career in the late '70s with seminal post-punk act Killing Joke with whom he would go on to write and record on 15 studio albums, earning worldwide critical acclaim and a ferocious fanbase. Geordie's utterly unique style drew widespread praise from fans and his peers alike. Rest In Peace.
Jaz: "I spoke to Geordie last week. He began our hour-long conversation with "there he is," and apart from a flu, he was in fine spirits and looking forward to the future with optimism. We reincarnated before and we will reincarnate again. I never left his side in 44 years. Tears"
Youth: "He is now flying high with The Valkyries, on his way to the halls of Valhalla. He defined a generation or three with his genius. We are all honoured to have served with him and shared his vision of what the band could be."
Paul Ferguson: "We are devastated by the news of our brother's sudden passing. Our collective look forwards have come to naught and the maestro strummed his last glorious chords. I was honoured to play in the band with him, a rare talent and wit who suffered no fools. Rest In Peace Geords."
