Keith Levene, the trailblazing British guitarist who co-founded The Clash and Public Image Ltd., died of liver cancer Friday. He was 65.“It is with great sadness I report that my close friend and legendary Public Image Limited guitarist Keith Levene passed away on Friday 11th November,” he wrote.
Born in 1957 in London, Levene got his start as a roadie for Yes as a teenager in the early 1970s. He achieved fame after forming The Clash with guitarist Mick Jones and bassist Paul Simonon at just 18 years old. It was Levene and manager Bernard Rhodes who convinced vocalist Joe Strummer, then the frontman for the 101ers, to join the band.While he saw early success with The Clash, Levene grew tired of their political songs and exited before they started recording.
With them, he enjoyed greater fame, including the hit single “Public Image,” off their popular 1978 debut album “Public Image: First Issue.” The band’s second album, 1979’s “Metal Box,” is regarded as a classic example of the post-punk genre. He left the group in 1983.
