Legendary English guitarist John Sykes (TYGERS OF PAN TANG, THIN LIZZY, WHITESNAKE, BLUE MURDER, SYKES) has died at the age of 65.

It is with great sorrow we share that John Sykes has passed away after a hard fought battle with cancer. He will be remembered by many as a man with exceptional musical talent but for those who didn’t know him personally, he was a thoughtful, kind, and charismatic man whose presence lit up the room. 
He certainly marched to the beat of his own drum and always pulled for the underdog. In his final days, he spoke of his sincere love and gratitude for his fans who stuck by him through all these years. 
While the impact of his loss is profound and the mood somber, we hope the light of his memory will extinguish the shadow of his absence.

"By All Gods", 65 ans c'est pas vieux en effet. Ça fait bizarre tant j'ai écouter Blue Murder qui pour moi représente l'apogée de ce qui se faisait en hard Rock 90's avec le premier BAD ENGLISH et quelques TESLA.... RIP mec ta voix était assez géniale

C’est avec une immense tristesse que j’apprends le décès de John Sykes, cet exceptionnel musicien va beaucoup me manquer et au monde du métal aussi…il est parti au paradis des guitaristes pour taper le bœuf avec son grand ami Phil Lynnot…Sykes in the Sky for ever…😩
