WHITESNAKE and Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes – perhaps best known for the 1987 epic “Still Of The Night” – has died of cancer aged 65.
The loss of the celebrated British musician, who was also a member of Tygers Of Pan Tang and Blue Murder, was announced on his social media overnight Monday, Australian time.
“It is with great sorrow we share that John Sykes has passed away after a hard-fought battle with cancer,” the statement read. “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.
