HEARTBREAKING tributes have poured in for Babyshambles guitarist Patrick Walden after he died aged 46.
The devastating news was revealed by the band on their official Facebook page.
The post read: “It is with deep regret and sadness that we share the news of Patrick Walden’s death.
“We feel very fortunate to have known, loved and worked with him and we kindly ask for respect and privacy during these difficult times.
“Peter, Drew, Mik, Adam.”
Babyshambles was formed in 2004 and became the main vessel for Pete Doherty‘s poetic, chaotic rock when he was ousted from the Libertines.
The band Babyshambles released their self-titled debut 7″ in April 2004, and settled on the lineup of Doherty, guitarist Patrick Walden, bassist Drew McConnell, and drummer Gemma Clarke by that summer.
Prior to joining Babyshambles, Walden belonged to a variety of London groups, among which were Fluid, the Six Cold Thousand, and The White Sport.
