SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES and MAGAZINE guitarist JOHN McGEOCH has died in his sleep at the age of 48.

The punk veteran was also famous for his work with Sex Pistol John Lydon's Public Image Limited.

Steven Severin, bass player for the Banshees, said in a statement on his website: "I was shocked and saddened to hear that John passed away in his sleep last Thursday. Although we hadn't worked together for a long time and I hadn't seen him for a couple of years he was always in my heart and often in my thoughts."

He added: "Without doubt the most inventive guitarist of our generation and my favourite Banshee. Love to all his friends and family. Bye John."

Det er nå 10 dager til jeg drar til Europas (Europa? Hø? Noen vil kalle det Asia, men den regnes uansett som Europas:) største by: Moskva. Regner med at kurbad, shopping og nattklubbing står på programmet sammen med Den Røde Plass o.a. severdigheter. Hvis noen har geniale tips eller venner der, send meg beskjed! Har aldri vært i Russland før, så dette blir spennende.
