Last updated Nov 14, 2022

Keith Levene died on Friday, November 11. He was 65. Levene died at his home in Norfolk of liver cancer, leaving a long legacy of impact on British rock music.

Julian Keith Levene (July 18, 1957 – November 11, 2022) was a founding member of both The Clash and Public Image Ltd.

Levene was raised in London and was first influenced by progressive rock. After meeting fellow Clash founder Mick Jones, his style and musical preferences shifted. His punk and post-punk guitar tones have been described as “both melodic and dissonant, sonorous and ferocious,” and he impacted many other bands, including U2’s Edge, Franz Ferdinand, and LCD Sound system.

It is with great sadness I report that my close friend and legendary Public Image Limited guitarist Keith Levene passed away on Friday 11th November.

There is no doubt that Keith was one of the most innovative, audacious and influential guitarists of all time.
