Former guitarist with UK rock band Babyshambles, Patrick Walden, has died aged 46. News of the musician's death was announced via Babyshambles' official Facebook page. A statement from band members Pete Doherty, Drew McConnell, Mick Whitnall and Adam Ficek read: "It is with deep regret and sadness that we share the news of Patrick Walden's death. "We feel very fortunate to have known, loved and worked with him and we kindly ask for respect and privacy during these difficult times. Walden performed in a variety of bands - including Fluid, the Six Cold Thousand, and The White Sport - before he joined Babyshambles back in 2003.
