[South-Punk Admin]

Southend Punk was saddened to hear of the passing of Walter Lure (April 22nd, 1949 - August 21st, 2020) who died from Liver and Lung Cancer.

Walter Lure was the last surviving member of The Heartbreakers who played on their classic 1977 debut album L.A.M.F., and Walter had recently released an album - 'Wacka Lacka Boom Pop A Loom Bam Boo' back in 2018 and had his autobiography published 'To Hell and Back' earlier this year.


Rest in Peace Walter
