In a statement, Primal Scream singer Bobby Gillespie and guitarist Andrew Innes say: "We have lost our comrade and brother Robert Young. A beautiful and deeply soulful man. He was an irreplaceable talent, much admired amongst his peers.

"He was a true rock and roller. He walked the walk. He had 'Heart & Soul' tattooed on his arm and I'm sure on his heart too. In the words of Johnny Marr, 'Throb with a gold top Les Paul - unbeatable.'

"Our love and thoughts are with his sons Brandon and Miles and their mother Jane, his wife Rachel, and his immediate family." Read more here.
