Southend Punk is very saddened to hear of the passing of Dave Greenfield, legendary Keyboard player of The Stranglers
An official statement by The Stranglers said:
'We are deeply and profoundly saddened to announce the untimely passing of keyboard legend Dave Greenfield on the evening of 3rd May 2020. Following a stay in hospital for heart problems, Dave tested positive for the Covid-19 virus last Sunday but he sadly lost his battle last night. Dave had been an ever present in the band since joining in late 1975 and his keyboard wizardry was world-renowned over his 45 year career in The Stranglers. Dave was a lovable, friendly and eccentric character who always had time to chat.'
From Rattus Norvegicus until now his playing has been exemplary and inspirational, and Dave played in Southend many times with The Stranglers and also with his and JJ's '60 Garage side project The Purple Helmets.
Rest in Peace Dave
1949 - 2020
