Former Primal Scream guitarist Robert 'Throb' Young has died, according to reports.
As yet, there has been no official statement regarding the circumstances of Young's death, but several figures close to the musician have posted messages of condolences on Twitter.
Young, who met Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie when the two attended secondary school in Glasgow, was a pivotal member of the band and played on classic albums including 1991's 'Screamadelica' and 2000's 'XTRMNTR'. He left the band to go on sabbatical in 2006.
Tim Burgess has compared The Charlatans’ ‘One To Another’ to Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ in the new issue of Uncut (dated July 2013 and out now).
