The Libertines announced the death of their original drummer, Paul Dufour, on Wednesday (7 September).
The band revealed that the musician also known as “Mr Razzcocks” passed away on Tuesday (6 September) night.
A cause of death was not given and it’s unclear how old Dufour was when he died.
“Paul Dufour, our much loved drummer from the early days, passed away last night,” the band wrote on Instagram, alongside a black-and-white photo of Dufour among the other members.
“We are all in great shock and sadness. Sending love and thoughts to Paul’s friends and family. It was honour to play with you Mr Razzcocks. Forever in our hearts x.”
