This Many Boyfriends Guitarist Dies

Peter Sykes, guitarist for This Many Boyfriends, died of a sudden brain haemorrhage earlier this week.

A statement released by the band - via their label, Angular - reads:

‘Our best friend and guitarist Peter Sykes sadly passed away on Tuesday morning. We are all extremely shocked and saddened at the loss of a truly wonderful human being.
We really can’t process everything right now as it has been a tremendous shock. We were so very lucky to have even met such a great man and to have shared a stage with him has been a huge pleasure. He was our dear friend and we will miss him.
All our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.’

All the band’s commitments are on hold for time being.
