Default Jet Black: 'Inspirational' drummer for the Stranglers dies aged 84
Jet Black, the original drummer for 1970s punks The Stranglers, has died aged 84, the band confirmed.

The musician, who was born Brian Duffy, was a founding member of the Guildford group, playing on hits Golden Brown, Peaches and No More Heroes.

He last performed with them in 2015, announcing his retirement a few years later due to ill health.

In a statement online, his ex-bandmates described him as an "elder statesman" of British music.

Bassist and co-frontman JJ Burnel said: "After years of ill health, Jet has finally been released. He was a force of nature. An inspiration.

"The Stranglers would not have been if it wasn't for him. The most erudite of men. A rebel with many causes."

Sil Willcox, the band's manager, added: "Jet Black was the real deal. Astute in business, a talented drummer and an obsessive perfectionist.

"I will cherish the times we planned, pranked, ate, drank and laughed on so many great nights together."

R.I.P.

One of my Uncles was mad for the Stranglers.
I love their song "Skin Deep'.
