So very sad to hear that Scott Walker has passed away, he was a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how i could use my voice and words. Met him once at Meltdown, such a kind gentle outsider. He will be very missed. https://t.co/v33Ey91hbn

Scott Walker set the template for having a brave later career. YES to unsettling Foley horror albums! But YES also to “Make It Easy On Yourself”. Or indeed Nite Flights (1978), when TWB couldn’t get arrested commercially or critically. It’s all there, for ever. What a gift. RIP.

Scott Walker, who has died aged 76, was one of the most original and stylish music makers of his generation. His legacy stretches from The Walker Brothers to a formidable solo career at the very edge of creative genius. My condolences to his family.https://t.co/6fxzRVc9ZP
