Short story:

Primal Scream guitarist Robert “Throb” Young is found dead at his flat in Sussex, England, UK.

Full article:

Primal Scream statement : We have lost our comrade and brother Robert Young. A beautiful and deeply soulful man. He was an irreplaceable talent, much admired amongst his peers, In the words of Johnny Marr “Throb with a gold top Les Paul – unbeatable”’

He was a true rock and roller. He walked the walk. He had “Heart & Soul” tattooed on his arm and I’m sure on his heart too. He once said to me “when we go onstage it’s a war between us and the audience.” He never let go of that attitude.

Our love and thoughts are with his sons Brandon and Miles and their mother Jane, his wife Rachel, and his immediate family.
