The Stranglers keyboard player Dave Greenfield has died at the age of 71 after testing positive for Covid-19.
Greenfield died on Sunday having contracted the virus after a prolonged stay in hospital for heart problems.
He penned the band's biggest hit, Golden Brown, a song about heroin, which went to number two on the UK singles chart in 1982.
The Stranglers bass player Jean-Jacques "JJ" Burnel paid tribute to Greenfield as a "musical genius".
He said: "On the evening of Sunday May 3rd, my great friend and longstanding colleague of 45 years, the musical genius that was Dave Greenfield, passed away as one of the victims of the Great Pandemic of 2020.
"All of us in the worldwide Stranglers' family grieve and send our sincerest condolences to [Greenfield's wife] Pam."

I always love it when a band on television decides to just have fun on stage when they know that the actual music will be from the studio recording anyway.
Exactly!!!!!!
my best this one 😂 really fun and I love it❤🖤🥀
What I love most about this is that despite repeated viewings I can still spot something I missed before. The latest thing is Jet miming the vocals into the mic with his ear.
Yes, you have to watch it several times before catching everything. Brilliant Stranglers! :)
The best performance I've ever seen
Dave looks like he's enjoying himself and Jet is so funny in this and the other vid of this where he's drumming air with his back to the camera.
R.I.P. Dave Greenfield. Love this video and how he's enjoying himself miming on the bass.
They make it seem so effortless.
Great seeing the guys mess around and enjoy themselves. One of my favourite Strangles songs.
Even tho obviously mucking around, both Jet and Dave look like they can actually play the guitar/bass.
Dave can play the guitar. It was his first instrument before he switched to keys.
That was scary and beautiful at the same time.
Now this is Rock and Roll
With Dave Greenfield's sad passing JJ Burnel is now the only original member of 'the Stranglers' left.
The beauty of miming. Can pretty much do whatever you like.
R.I.P Dave.
Great live performance ☝️😃
And nobody mentions that they also did a switcheroo, everybody is playing the other's instrument.
That’s what I call drumming with special effects.
The Stranglers are soooo good. How much Frank Zappa did they listen too for their influence?

Remède génial contre la morosité. RIP Dave
Somebody do a shred of this!
This is unbelievable, was it ever broadcast?
Yes it was, remember seeing this on Dutch TV in the days
What I wouldn’t give for the recording of the cacophony they actually made in that room
Some kid hoping to learn this song from video:
“Are you Fuuuuuu”
Calm down JJ hahha
Anybody can confirm that this is the version that was broadcast? Or not?
Yes, this was actually broadcast. I remember watching it on Dutch TV as a teenager, wondering why the drummer was grinning while bashing the drums.
Only later did I discover that this was one of the greatest rock bands in history. And why they were mucking about on TV.
Yes it was broadcasted on Dutch TV, producers were more open minded in these days...
Hard to see that it was playback........
The greatest band in the history of music since the cavemen first bashed a stick
mmmmmmmmmmmm
Maybe I present to you the first attempt ever on playing slide violin (guitar): 3:03.
Underrated comment. Lol
These guys were okay for their time. But I appreciate the rebelliousness and creativity of Moderne Artistes like Kanye West and Beyonce BETTER.
*PURE SARCASM*
Jean-Jacques Burnel has french origins.
